Individuals who are injured or die while working for contractors who are involved in contracts with the United States of America or the military services normally do not come under a state workers compensation act but come under a specialized law known as the DEFENSE BASE ACT. The Defense Base Act was enacted in 1941 in order to provide compensation to injured civilian workers or their dependents for disability or death due to an injury occurring overseas while employed by a contractor or sub-contractor working for the United States. At Blumenthal, Schwartz & Saxe P.A., our team of Defense Base Act lawyers are dedicated to providing our clients with the best possible representation possible. As a client of ours, you will receive open communication from a skilled Defense Base Act Attorney about your unique case.

This law covers individuals who are injured or die while working either in the United States or anywhere else in the world in support of Non-Appropriated Funds Instrumentalities for the United States armed services. These include individuals who work at Officers Clubs; individuals who work at Base Exchanges and Post Exchanges, even individuals located on military bases in support of the troops such as fast food restaurants, some types of shops and other type of merchant activities. Our Non-Appropriated Funds Instrumentalities Act Attorneys will work hard for you, no matter how large or small your case may be.

If you have been injured while working for a contractor for the United States of America you almost certainly come under one of these laws and our law firm can provide you the appropriate representation on an international basis.

In most instances, in accordance with the law, attorney fees are paid by the employer or its insurance company. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE IS THERE ANY ATTORNEY’S FEE OWED IF THERE IS NOT A RECOVERY MADE BY THE LAW FIRM.
