Many overseas contractors are surprised to learn that the Defense Base Act may cover far more workers than they realize. If you support a U.S. government contract abroad—whether through construction, security, logistics, translation, or other mission‑related services—you may qualify for benefits.
Eligibility often depends on the type of work you performed, the contract you were assigned to, where you were stationed, and how the injury occurred. Because these details matter, navigating the DBA can feel confusing.
At Beiser Law Firm, we help workers understand their rights under the Defense Base Act. If you're unsure whether the DBA applies to your situation, our team is here to guide you.
