PRACTICE AREAS

What is the Defense-Based act?

The Defense Base Act (DBA) is a US federal law that provides benefits to civilian employees working overseas on U.S. military bases or under U.S. government contracts. It ensures that these employees receive medical treatment, compensation for lost wages, and other benefits if they are injured or become ill while performing their job duties abroad. The DBA covers a wide range of workers, including contractors, subcontractors, and employees of private companies. It operates similarly to state workers' compensation laws but applies to overseas employment situations.
