Defense Base Act (DBA)

The Defense Base Act (DBA) provides workers’ compensation coverage for civilian employees of U.S. contractors on U.S. military bases and lands used by the U.S. for military purposes located outside of the continental U.S. DBA coverage also includes employees engaged in public works for a U.S. government agency outside of the continental U.S., as well as employees of an American employer who provides welfare or similar services for the benefit of the Armed Forces outside of the continental U.S. We can provide the expertise to effectively manage DBA claims.
