benefits and assistance to the families

The US military has created a long-term presence in other countries and are putting the government contractor’s in harm’s way. Besides, there are number of corporates who have their footprint overseas which include engaging in public works, building or construction. A huge number of contractors get serious injured every year while they are deployed on US projects and since the media overlooks or fails to report this issue, it often goes missed. This is the reason Defense Base Act was introduced which aims to provide benefits and assistance to the families of the injured individuals. This DBA gives benefits of medical expenses, being away from work, compensation for loss of earning potential and for permanent disability. Luckily there are many contractors who help in providing the assistance of settling the claim. One should make use of them so that they are benefitted.
