Questions
What is the Defense Base Act?
The Defense Base Act provides workers' compensation benefits to civilian contractors injured on overseas military bases. It covers medical treatment, disability compensation, and death benefits for eligible workers.
How long do I have to file a DBA claim?
DBA claims must be filed within one year of the injury date. California personal injury claims typically have a two-year statute of limitations from the accident date.
What compensation can I get for burn pit exposure?
Burn pit victims may recover compensation for respiratory illnesses, cancer, and other conditions caused by toxic fumes. Claims can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How are catastrophic injury cases handled?
We work with medical experts to document injury severity and calculate lifetime care costs. Our attorneys pursue comprehensive compensation through settlements or litigation to cover medical treatment and quality-of-life adjustments.
What payment options are available?
We operate on a contingency fee basis for most cases - you pay nothing unless we win your case. Specific fee arrangements are discussed during your free strategy session.
