The Defense Base Act was established in 1941 to extend Longshore and Harbor workers compensation benefits to workers injured overseas on military bases or in war zones. Today, it now covers any contractor working under contract for the United States government.
Most U.S. civilian contractors are in immediate harm’s way by working in zones of special danger. You’re serving our country by supporting the men and women in uniform and U.S. humanitarian aid efforts under the Foreign Assistance Act or public works contracts. Because of your service, you deserve to recover any damages lost from your injury.
