Florida Lawyers Representing Overseas Workers
Defense Base Act Lawyers
Our firm can handle your claim if you are a civilian who was injured in Iraq, or anywhere overseas, if you were working for a private employer under a contract with any U.S. government agency. This would include employers involved in construction and service contracts in connection with national defense or with war activities outside the United States. The Defense Base Act covers you whether your employer is a U.S. company or a foreign company. It also covers you whether you are a U.S. citizen or a non-resident.
Were you injured in Iraq while working for a U.S. company such as Halliburton, Titan, KBR, Blackwater USA, DynCorp International, L-3 Communications, S.Y. Coleman or Triple Canopy? Contact us now. Your case is covered under the Defense Base Act (DBA), which is an extension of the Longshore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act. We have the experience and reputation necessary to fight for your rights. You may be entitled to very valuable compensation and reasonable and necessary medical care. We may also be able to obtain a large lump sum cash settlement for your injuries. Please view our Verdicts and Settlements page which documents some of the excellent results we have obtained for our clients under the Defense Base Act over the past 11 years.
We are lawyers who handle DBA workers' compensation claims for overseas, non-military workers injured on the job under a contract with the U.S. We will educate you on the benefits to which you are entitled under the DBA, and we will assist you at each stage of your case, making sure that you receive the maximum benefits which the law provides. If you are a family member of a loved one who has died as a result of an injury on the job, you may be eligible for valuable compensation, funeral expenses and/or a lump sum settlement. We have the experience and compassion you can count on in your time of need. We will assist you in recovering future lost wages to ease the financial burden resulting from your loved one's passing.
