🦺 June is National Safety Month—a reminder that even the safest job sites can’t eliminate every risk.

For civilian contractors working overseas, an unexpected injury can affect far more than just your ability to work. It can impact your health, your income, and your family's financial security.

The good news is that the Defense Base Act (DBA) provides important protections for many government contractors and subcontractors working outside the United States. Understanding your rights before an injury occurs can make a significant difference if you ever need medical care or wage replacement benefits.

Being informed today can help you make confident decisions tomorrow.

Injured Overseas? You Still Have Rights.

Even if your injury happened outside the United States, you may still be protected under the Defense Base Act (DBA). Many civilian contractors don’t realize that working overseas on U.S. government–funded projects can still qualify them for important benefits.

Your location doesn’t eliminate your rights — and understanding those rights early can help protect your health, income, and future.

If you’re unsure whether the DBA applies to your situation, learning more can be an important first step.

Are You Covered Under the Defense Base Act?

Many civilian contractors assume they’re not eligible for Defense Base Act (DBA) benefits — but coverage is often broader than most realize.

If you work overseas on a U.S. government–funded project, including military bases, embassies, or contractor support roles, you may be protected under the DBA — even if you’re labeled an independent contractor or have already returned to the U.S.

Understanding whether you qualify is the first step in protecting your rights and ensuring you receive the medical care and benefits you may be entitled to if an injury occurs.

3 Documents You Need for a Strong DBA Case

When you're injured while working overseas, the success of your Defense Base Act claim often comes down to one thing: documentation. The more accurate and complete your records are, the stronger your case becomes.

Here are the three essential documents every contractor should gather:

✔️ Medical Records — diagnosis, treatments, prescriptions, and follow-up care
✔️ Employer Injury Reports — official documentation of when and how the injury happened
✔️ Witness Statements — coworkers or supervisors who can support your account

These documents can make or break your claim — and we're here to guide you through every step.
