Getting the Defense Base Act Benefits You Deserve
Once you are injured while overseas as a DBA worker, your life is turned upside down. You will need to learn about what you can and can't expect to receive under the DBA.

This website it all about helping you get the DBA benefits you deserve. We have a ton of free information to help you win your DBA case. We strongly recommend you read about your DBA rights before you sign any forms, give any statement or even hire a lawyer.


Defense Base Act Compensation

As a Defense Base Act worker you are entitled to disability benefits, medical benefits and death benefits if you are injured or killed while overseas. You are entitled to these benefits whether or not your injury occurred while you were actually working.

Under the DBA, it is useful to think of disability as being partial or total and temporary or permanent. Let's break that down.


Temporary Total Disability

You are entitled to disability payments, of 2/3 of your average weekly wage up to $1,295.20 per week (i.e. the maximum compensation rate) if you are unable to perform your regular work and before your doctor declares you having reached maximum medical improvement.


Temporary Partial Disability

You may be entitled to a portion of the your wages if you return to work and earn less than your average weekly wage.


Permanent Total Disability

You may be entitled to disability payments for the rest of your life, at the maximum rate.


Permanent Partial Disability

You may be entitled to weekly payments under two scenarios:


Scheduled Injuries

If you have a scheduled injury, you may be entitled to a certain number of weeks compensation.


Unscheduled Injuries

If you have an unscheduled injury, your compensation is based upon a wage loss concept. Here, a doctor will need to say you are unable to return to your usual and customary employment and then the DBA carrier will have to point to specific jobs (i.e., suitable alternate employment). The Judge will then determine your wage earning capacity.


Disclaimer

The foregoing is not legal advice. I am simplistic in order to achieve clarity. You should consult with a seasoned Defense Base Act Lawyer.
