The Defense Base Act

The Defense Base Act (DBA), created in 1941, extended the federal workers' compensation program for longshore and harbor workers, initially to persons working on American military bases abroad and then to most federal contractors working outside of the United States.

The DBA requires that many federal government contractors and subcontractors provide workers' compensation insurance for their employees who work outside of the United States.


Defense Base Act Vehicle Injuries


Defense Base Act workers are exposed to the most hazardous work conditions of any American workers. DBA workers regularly face extreme hazards and risks. Because of this, every day Defense Base Act workers are seriously injured or killed across the world. A huge number of DBA workers are injured while riding in a vehicle. In this article, a Defense Base Act Attorney discusses vehicle injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. This article is based upon first-hand accounts we hear from seriously injured DBA workers.


Danger At Every Turn

Statistically, riding in a vehicle in Irag and Afghanistan can be one of the most dangerous rides on Earth. From IED's to snipers to car accidents to being jolted in the back of a vehicle bouncing on bad roads while wearing body armor. One thing which occurs again and again - Defense Base Act workers are seriously injured while riding in vehicles.


Defense Base Act Vehicle Accidents

To many, if not most, drivers in Iraq and Afghanistan the only thing slowing them down is the road itself and their nerves. Driving recklessly is almost a way of life. Literally. Local drivers, U.S. military drivers, Coalition drivers, and fellow DBA co-workers alike drive recklessly. Time and again DBA workers are seriously injured in vehicle accidents.

We are not talking enemy combatants causing the accidents. We are talking reckless driving. In many parts of Iraq and Afghanistan there is no one to enforce speed limits and traffic laws. Thus, reckless driving becomes the norm. Unfortunately, DBA workers are seriously injured due to careless drivers. Many accidents occur when vehicles are jam packed with workers.


Bone Jarring Roads

The roads in Iraq and Afghanistan range from bad to bone jarring. Literally. One bad jar can cause a lifetime of back pain and disability. Some DBA workers describe it as radical 4 wheeling. Only you are wearing body armor and worrying about the IED's and the like. Now add in vehicles with poor and/or worn out suspensions. Some workers have a daily "commute" from secure military installations to distant work sites. Many DBA workers suffer serious back injuries due to bouncing around the back of vehicles.


Deadly IED's

An improvised explosive device (IED), is a roadside bomb. It is a "homemade" bomb constructed and deployed in ways other than in conventional military operations. IED explosions leave craters in their wake. They rip apart vehicles and injure, maim and kill the DBA workers within them. IED's are deadly. By some estimates, IED's have been responsible for over 50% of the DBA deaths in Iraq.


Disclaimer

This article is not legal advice. It is simplistic in order to achieve clarity. When bringing a court case you must always tell the truth. If you are seriously injured DBA worker that was injured in a vehicle in Iraq or Afghanistan, then you have rights under the Defense Base Act. We urge you to consult with a Defense Base Act Attorney.
