Injuries Covered Under the Defense Base Act

Injuries Covered Under the Defense Base Act

The Defense Base Act covers many types of injuries related to the worker’s employment. A worker injured outside the workplace can still pursue compensation through the DBA if the injury is work-related.

Examples of injuries covered by the DBA include:

  1. Neck or shoulder injuries
  2. Back or spinal injuries
  3. Head or brain injuries
  4. Loss of limb injuries
  5. Loss of hearing
  6. Burn injuries
  7. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)


This by no means represents a complete list of injuries coverable by the Defense Base Act. To find out if your injury qualifies for compensation under the DBA, contact our law firm today.
