Law firm represents victims of industrial accidents that have occurred at US bases and other locations around the world and is seeking compensation for defense legal employee compensation. 

The defense base act has protected men and women from working abroad under military contracts since 1942. Over the past 20 years, the military has increased the number of civilian contractors it employs in areas, leading to increased claims for workers' compensation.

 If you are injured while serving in the military in another country, the law firm can represent you in seeking compensation under the defense base act. You do not have to be a US citizen to receive employee benefits under this law.

Employees who are protected by law include those who:

-Work under a contract that is approved and funded by the US government under the Foreign Assistance Act to work outside the US.

-Work for an American employer who provides social services outside the United States for military purposes such as the USO.
