class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>If you were injured while working overseas as a contractor, you need experienced legal representation. North Carolina is home to a large number of defense contractors who deploy overseas each year, from security personnel protecting U.S. embassies to construction workers rebuilding infrastructure and logistics specialists supporting military operations in the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>North Carolina Defense Base Act lawyers<\/strong> at Grossman Attorneys have spent years fighting insurance companies that deny or reduce DBA claims. We&#8217;ve helped injured contractors across the state secure millions in benefits. Our attorneys know how these insurers operate, and we know how to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the DBA and LHWCA, employers or carriers pay claimant&#8217;s attorney fees when you prevail on contested issues. We know this is a difficult time. Whether you&#8217;re dealing with a combat zone injury, toxic exposure illness, or traumatic brain injury, you deserve advocates who fight for every dollar you&#8217;re owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call us today for a free consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Defense Base Act?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act is a federal workers&#8217; compensation law that protects civilian employees working overseas on U.S. government contracts or military installations. Passed in 1941, the DBA extends workers&#8217; compensation coverage to American contractors and foreign nationals who work for U.S. companies abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This federal program is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor&#8217;s Office of Workers&#8217; Compensation Programs (OWCP). When you&#8217;re injured working overseas for a defense contractor or on a U.S. military base, the DBA requires your employer&#8217;s insurance carrier to provide medical treatment and wage replacement benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Federal Administration and Coverage Scope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act covers far more than just combat injuries. DBA insurance protects workers who get hurt in vehicle accidents, suffer from occupational diseases caused by toxic exposure, develop psychological conditions like PTSD, or sustain injuries from equipment failures and workplace hazards. Whether you were installing communications systems at a base in Qatar, working construction in Iraq, or providing security services in Afghanistan, including locations throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, the Defense Base Act covers your injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike state workers&#8217; compensation programs, the DBA operates under federal law. This means the rules, benefit calculations, and appeals procedures remain consistent regardless of which state you call home. However, having a lawyer who understands both the federal DBA system and North Carolina&#8217;s strong ties to defense contracting can make a significant difference in your claim&#8217;s outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does a Defense Base Act Lawyer Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/defense-base-act-claim-law-firm\/\" title=\"National Defense Base Act Lawyers \u2013 Grossman Attorneys\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"41\">Defense Base Act lawyer<\/a> handles workers&#8217; compensation claims for civilian contractors injured overseas. These attorneys manage every stage of the federal claims process, from filing initial paperwork to representing clients at federal hearings and appeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DBA coverage system is complex, with strict filing deadlines, detailed documentation requirements, and insurance companies that employ teams of lawyers to minimize payouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filing Your Claim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lawyer handles the initial claim filing, making sure all required forms reach the Department of Labor correctly and on time. When you&#8217;re injured, your employer typically files an LS-202 Employer&#8217;s First Report of Injury with the DOL. You or your attorney file the LS-203 claim form to formally pursue benefits. The <a href=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ls-201.pdf\">LS-201<\/a> Notice of Employee&#8217;s Injury or Death may also be filed, though it&#8217;s not always required if the employer already has timely notice of your injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your attorney gathers medical records, employment verification, and wage statements that support your case. Claimants generally have the right to choose their initial treating physician. Employers or insurers commonly issue an LS-1 form to authorize treatment, though emergency care may proceed without prior authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fighting Insurance Denials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When insurance companies deny claims or offer lowball settlements, DBA legal representation fights back. Experienced attorneys negotiate with adjusters, challenge medical opinions from company doctors, and demand fair compensation for your injuries. If negotiations fail, they represent you at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handling Medical Disputes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical disputes are common in DBA claims. Insurance carriers often send injured workers to their own doctors who downplay injuries or declare workers fit to return to dangerous jobs. Our legal team connects clients with independent medical experts who provide honest evaluations and testify about the true extent of injuries and necessary treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigating Appeals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the appeals process, attorneys protect your rights. They file appeals to the Benefits Review Board when ALJ decisions are unfavorable. In the Fourth Circuit, which includes North Carolina, judicial review of BRB decisions is filed in U.S. District Court. Venue is determined by federal DBA and LHWCA rules, not simply the claimant&#8217;s residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorneys also handle disputes about benefit calculations based on Average Weekly Wage (AWW) and applicable DBA\/LHWCA schedules, fight for vocational rehabilitation when you can&#8217;t return to your previous work, and ensure you receive all compensation owed under federal law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, DBA lawyers deal with insurance companies so you can focus on recovery. They answer calls from adjusters, respond to requests for information, and push back against surveillance and tactics designed to deny your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id74720_60251f-0f >

Understanding who qualifies helps determine whether you can file a claim for your overseas injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers covered under the DBA include U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and foreign nationals employed by American companies or their subcontractors. Coverage applies while you're engaged in covered employment. It can also extend to employer-provided travel and certain off-duty injuries under the \"zone of special danger\" doctrine, depending on the specific facts of your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers must carry DBA insurance if they hire workers for covered employment. This includes prime contractors who win government bids and all subcontractors down the line. The insurance requirement applies regardless of company size, even small businesses with just a few overseas employees must maintain coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don't need to prove your employer was negligent or at fault for your injury. The DBA operates as a no-fault insurance system, similar to state workers' compensation programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Employment Covered Under the Defense Base Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act statute identifies four main categories of covered employment based on the type of work, employer, and contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the DBA covers employees of contractors working on U.S. military bases or lands used by the U.S. for military purposes outside the United States. This includes workers at installations in Germany, Japan, South Korea, and dozens of other countries where the U.S. maintains a military presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, coverage extends to employees working outside the United States on public work contracts with a U.S. government agency for construction, service, or national defense and war activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, the statute protects employees working outside the United States under contracts approved and financed by the U.S. government under the Foreign Assistance Act. These projects might include building roads, schools, or water treatment facilities as part of foreign aid or development programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth, the DBA covers employees of American employers providing welfare or similar services for the benefit of the Armed Forces outside the United States, such as USO workers and similar support personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Government Contractors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Private companies that win contracts with U.S. government agencies must provide DBA coverage for their overseas workers. These contractors range from massive defense firms employing thousands to small specialized companies with niche capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government contractor work includes but is not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Building and maintaining military facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing security for diplomatic missions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transporting supplies and equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating dining facilities and base services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installing and maintaining communications networks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conducting training programs for foreign militaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting intelligence and reconnaissance operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing medical services at overseas installations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing logistics and supply chain operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you work for a government contractor overseas, your employer must secure DBA insurance before you deploy. This insurance covers you whether you're working in a relatively safe location or a higher-risk environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coverage applies even if you weren't aware of the DBA when you took the job. Many contractors don't learn about their insurance rights until after they're injured. The law protects you regardless of whether your employer explained the program during hiring or orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:1000px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79 figure{max-width:1000px;}.kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79 .image-is-svg, .kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image42307_4b6ba4-79\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/defense-base-act-claim-attorney-north-carolina.jpg\" alt=\"Heavy equipment and security vehicles stationed at a secured overseas base at sunset beneath an American flag, illustrating the dangerous conditions where North Carolina-based Defense Base Act litigation specialists pursue federal maritime claims for government contractors.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-42312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/defense-base-act-claim-attorney-north-carolina.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/defense-base-act-claim-attorney-north-carolina-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:2rem;padding-bottom:1rem;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id42307_842f58-3e alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column42307_8077e4-e2 inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">North Carolina Military Contractors and Overseas Deployment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>North Carolina maintains one of the largest military footprints in the United States, with multiple service branches represented, including the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. With well over 100,000 active duty personnel and a defense sector that generates tens of billions in annual economic impact, the state serves as a major hub for defense contractors who deploy workers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state's military installations directly support the defense contracting industry. Many service members and civilian employees transition into overseas contractor roles after separating or changing jobs, bringing valuable skills and experience to government contracts in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major North Carolina Military Installations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fort Liberty<\/strong> (Fayetteville) is one of the largest military installations in the world, spanning over 251 square miles. Home to the 82nd Airborne Division, U.S. Army Special Operations Command, and U.S. Army Forces Command, the installation houses more than 52,000 military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune<\/strong> (Jacksonville) covers 246 square miles in Onslow County. Home to the II Marine Expeditionary Force and multiple combat units, the base provides training and support for amphibious assault operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point<\/strong> (Havelock) spans 13,164 acres in Craven County. The installation supports the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and houses Fleet Readiness Center East, which provides depot-level maintenance for Marine Corps aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marine Corps Air Station New River<\/strong> (Jacksonville) serves as the primary East Coast rotary-wing and tiltrotor hub for the Marine Corps. Approximately 7,000 Marines and 1,000 civilian employees operate the air station, which is home to the first operational MV-22 squadrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seymour Johnson Air Force Base<\/strong> (Goldsboro) encompasses 3,300 acres with over 4,300 active duty personnel. Home to the 4th Fighter Wing operating F-15E Strike Eagles and the 916th Air Refueling Wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coast Guard Base Elizabeth City<\/strong> (Elizabeth City) houses the Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center, providing depot-level maintenance, engineering, and supply support for Coast Guard aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These installations create a pipeline of skilled workers who transition to overseas contractor positions. The connections between North Carolina's military presence and defense contracting mean thousands of workers from these bases eventually work abroad under DBA-covered contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defense Contractors in North Carolina and DBA Eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>North Carolina is home to approximately 3,600 defense contracting firms supporting one of the largest sectors of the state's economy, often cited as the second-largest by economic impact. This robust defense industry creates strong ties between local companies and overseas deployment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major defense contractors with North Carolina operations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lockheed Martin<\/strong><br>Locations: Multiple facilities across North Carolina<br>Founded: 1995<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lockheedmartin.com\">lockheedmartin.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Northrop Grumman<\/strong><br>Locations: Charlotte, various North Carolina sites<br>Founded: 1994<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northropgrumman.com\">northropgrumman.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RTX Corporation<\/strong><br>Locations: Statewide operations<br>Founded: 2020<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtx.com\">rtx.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Boeing<\/strong><br>Locations: Various North Carolina sites including support facilities near military installations<br>Founded: 1916<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boeing.com\">boeing.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Electric Aerospace<\/strong><br>Locations: Multiple North Carolina facilities<br>Founded: GE founded 1892; GE Aerospace formed as standalone company in 2024<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geaerospace.com\">geaerospace.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BAE Systems<\/strong><br>Locations: Statewide operations<br>Founded: 1999<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baesystems.com\">baesystems.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>L3Harris Technologies<\/strong><br>Locations: Multiple facilities<br>Founded: 2019<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.l3harris.com\">l3harris.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>American Titanium Metal<\/strong><br>Locations: Fayetteville (major expansion announced in 2024)<br>Operations: Aerospace-grade titanium manufacturing<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americantitaniummetal.com\">americantitaniummetal.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers employed by these contractors and their subcontractors receive DBA coverage when working overseas on qualifying contracts. Coverage extends to employees of small and mid-sized defense firms throughout North Carolina, not just the major prime contractors listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you work for any defense contractor based in North Carolina or with North Carolina operations and deploy overseas, you likely qualify for protection under teh DBA.

Case assignment is administrative and not based on where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Required Forms and Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several forms must be filed to pursue a DBA claim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>LS-202 Employer's First Report of Injury or Occupational Illness<\/strong> - Your employer files this form when they learn of your injury. This report notifies the DOL and the insurance carrier about your injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LS-203 Claim for Compensation<\/strong> - This is your formal claim for benefits. You or your attorney file this form to officially request compensation for your injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ls-201.pdf\">LS-201<\/a> Notice of Employee's Injury or Death<\/strong> - This form provides notice to your employer and the DOL. It may not be required if your employer already has timely notice of your injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond these forms, you'll need to gather supporting documentation including medical records from your treating physicians, employment verification showing you worked for a covered contractor, and wage statements or pay stubs establishing your Average Weekly Wage. Contracts or assignment letters proving your overseas deployment are helpful but not required for filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filing Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Labor prefers electronic filing through the SEAPortal system. This online portal has two main functions: \"Create Case\" for new filings and \"Upload Documents\" for existing cases. Have your OWCP case number ready when uploading documents to an existing claim. SEAPortal provides faster processing and immediate confirmation of receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can't file electronically, you can mail paper forms to the OWCP\/DLHWC in Jacksonville, which serves as the centralized mail intake. Claims are then routed and handled by the appropriate DLHWC office. However, electronic filing typically results in faster processing times and fewer lost documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Legal Help with Your Filing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Department of Labor processes claims, DOL staff can't provide legal advice about your case. They can explain filing procedures and requirements, but they can't tell you whether to accept a settlement offer, advise you on the strength of your claim, or represent your interests against the insurance carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defense Base Act attorneys ensure your filing is complete and accurate from the start. They know which medical evidence carries the most weight, how to calculate your Average Weekly Wage correctly, and how to present your claim for maximum benefits. Insurance carriers have lawyers working to minimize payouts. Having your own attorney levels the playing field and protects your right to full compensation under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Facilities and Resources for North Carolina DBA Claimants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Access to quality medical care is critical for both your physical recovery and the success of your Defense Base Act claim. North Carolina offers numerous medical facilities capable of treating work-related injuries and documenting your condition for DBA purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major Academic Medical Centers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duke University Hospital<\/strong><br>2301 Erwin Road<br>Durham, NC 27710<br>(919) 684-8111<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duke University Hospital ranks among the top hospitals in the nation and serves as a premier academic medical center.

Mental health conditions are covered under the Defense Base Act just like physical injuries. North Carolina offers mental health facilities throughout the state organized by region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Western Region:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mission Hospital Behavioral Health (Asheville)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Western North Carolina community mental health centers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vaya Health (managed care organization serving western NC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Central Region:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>UNC Health Behavioral Health (Chapel Hill)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duke Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Durham)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WakeMed Behavioral Health (Raleigh)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eastern Region:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ECU Health Behavioral Health (Greenville)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coastal Horizons Center (Wilmington)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Charlotte Metro:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Atrium Health Behavioral Health (Charlotte)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These facilities provide evaluations, treatment, and documentation for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions that develop from overseas contractor work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appealing Your DBA Claim in North Carolina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the insurance carrier denies your Defense Base Act claim or an Administrative Law Judge issues an unfavorable decision, you have the right to appeal. The DBA appeals process involves multiple levels of review, each with strict deadlines that can permanently bar your claim if missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Appeals Path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you disagree with an ALJ's decision, you have 30 days from the date of that decision to file an appeal with the Benefits Review Board (BRB) in Washington, D.C. The BRB reviews the ALJ's decision for legal errors and whether substantial evidence supports the findings. Missing this 30-day deadline can permanently bar your appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the BRB issues an unfavorable decision, you have 60 days to seek judicial review. In the Fourth Circuit, which includes North Carolina, judicial review of BRB decisions is filed in the U.S. District Court, not directly in the Court of Appeals as in some other circuits. Venue for federal court review is determined by DBA and LHWCA rules, not simply by where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the District Court, further appeals may proceed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and potentially to the U.S. Supreme Court, though Supreme Court review is rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Legal Representation Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The appeals process involves complex legal standards and strict procedural requirements. Missing a deadline, failing to properly preserve an issue for appeal, or not understanding the applicable standard of review can destroy an otherwise valid claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attorneys at Grossman Attorneys have extensive experience handling DBA claim appeals at all levels. We know how to identify legal errors in ALJ decisions, present arguments to the Benefits Review Board, and litigate in federal court when necessary. Insurance carriers employ sophisticated legal teams to defend against appeals. You need equally experienced advocates on your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you've received an unfavorable decision or the insurance company is pressuring you to accept an inadequate settlement, contact our office immediately. We can review your case, explain your appeal rights, and determine the best strategy for pursuing full compensation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id2652_63c66e-56{margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px;}.kb-row-layout-id2652_63c66e-56

class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Injuries Covered by DBA Insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act provides broad coverage for injuries, illnesses, and occupational diseases that arise from overseas employment on covered contracts. Understanding the scope of coverage helps injured workers recognize when they have valid claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical injuries form the most obvious category of DBA coverage. These include traumatic injuries from accidents, falls, vehicle crashes, explosions, equipment failures, and assaults. Whether you broke your leg in a construction accident, suffered burns from a fire, or sustained injuries in a roadside explosion, the DBA covers medical treatment and wage replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Occupational Diseases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Occupational diseases fall under DBA protection when your work causes or aggravates the condition. Exposure to toxic chemicals, hazardous materials, extreme temperatures, or dangerous working conditions can lead to respiratory diseases, hearing loss, vision problems, cancer, and other chronic conditions. Burn pit exposure in Iraq and Afghanistan has affected thousands of contractors who now suffer from respiratory illnesses and cancers linked to toxic smoke inhalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Psychological Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychological conditions receive the same coverage as physical injuries under the DBA. Post-traumatic stress disorder affects many contractors who work in combat zones or witness violent events. Depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental health conditions that develop from the stress and trauma of overseas contractor work qualify for benefits. The DBA recognizes that psychological injuries can be just as disabling as physical wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aggravated Pre-Existing Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aggravated pre-existing conditions also fall under DBA coverage. If you had a prior injury or medical condition that worsened due to your overseas work, you can file a claim for the aggravation. The insurance carrier must provide treatment and benefits for the worsened condition, even if they're not responsible for the original injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repetitive Stress Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Repetitive stress injuries from performing the same motions over extended periods qualify for benefits. Carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries from repeated lifting, and joint problems from repetitive work all count as compensable injuries under the DBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key question isn't whether your injury seems serious enough to file a claim. The question is whether your injury or illness arose out of and in the course of your covered employment. For overseas injuries, the \"zone of special danger\" doctrine can extend coverage to certain off-duty injuries arising from work-created risks. If your work caused, contributed to, or aggravated your condition, you likely have a valid DBA claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding The Defense Base Act Claim Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act claim process involves several stages, from initial injury notification through potential appeals. Knowing what to expect at each stage helps you protect your rights and avoid mistakes that could jeopardize your benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Initial Injury Notification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you're injured overseas, notify your employer immediately. Give notice in writing when possible, and keep copies of all communications. Your employer has an obligation to report your injury to their insurance carrier and file the LS-202 form with the Department of Labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ls-201.pdf\">LS-201<\/a> Notice of Employee's Injury or Death is the employee's written notice to the employer, with an optional copy to the DOL. The LS-202 Employer's First Report is filed by your employer. The LS-203 is your formal claim for benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't wait to report your injury. Delays in reporting can give the insurance carrier grounds to deny your claim. Even if your injury seems minor at first, report it. Many injuries that appear minor initially develop into serious conditions requiring extensive treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Treatment and Authorization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You generally have the right to choose your initial treating physician for DBA injuries. The insurer can request a second opinion or independent medical examination and must authorize reasonable care, including necessary travel to medical appointments. In practice, employers or insurance carriers often issue an LS-1 form authorizing treatment with specific doctors or medical facilities. Emergency medical care can proceed without prior authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The insurance carrier pays for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment related to your injury. This includes doctor visits, hospital care, surgery, physical therapy, medications, medical equipment, and transportation to medical appointments. If the carrier refuses to authorize treatment your doctor recommends, your attorney can challenge the denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filing Your Formal Claim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>File your LS-203 claim form as soon as possible after your injury. Don't wait for the insurance carrier to offer you benefits. Many carriers delay or deny legitimate claims, hoping injured workers won't pursue their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your claim should include detailed information about how and when you were injured, your job duties, the country where you were working, and your medical treatment. Submit supporting documentation including medical records, employment verification, and wage information. Contracts or assignment letters proving your overseas deployment are helpful but not required, as OWCP and the carrier can verify contract status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Negotiations and Settlement Offers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The insurance carrier may offer you a settlement shortly after you file your claim. Don't accept any settlement without having an attorney review it first. Initial settlement offers typically fall far below the full value of your claim. Once you accept a settlement and the Department of Labor approves it, you can't reopen your claim for additional benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settlement negotiations require careful analysis of your future medical needs, your ability to return to work, and the long-term impact of your injury. An experienced DBA attorney can calculate the true value of your claim and negotiate for fair compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Administrative Law Judge Hearings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If negotiations fail or the carrier denies your claim, your case proceeds to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. These hearings are formal proceedings where both sides present evidence and testimony. The ALJ decides whether you're entitled to benefits and, if so, how much you should receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfavorable ALJ decisions are appealed to the Benefits Review Board within 30 days. Further review follows your circuit's DBA and LHWCA route. In the Fourth Circuit, which includes North Carolina, judicial review proceeds through U.S. District Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing for an ALJ hearing requires gathering medical evidence, obtaining expert opinions, preparing witnesses, and developing legal arguments. The insurance carrier will have attorneys and experts working to minimize or deny your claim. You need equally skilled representation to present your case effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ongoing Benefits and Medical Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you win your claim, the carrier must pay benefits under the LHWCA schedule, which the DBA incorporates, and continue providing medical treatment. Monitor your benefit payments carefully to ensure you receive the correct amounts. If your condition worsens, you can seek modifications to increase your benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The insurance carrier may try to cut off your benefits or medical treatment prematurely. They might send you to their own doctors who claim you've recovered or can return to work. Your attorney can challenge these attempts and fight to maintain your benefits for as long as medically necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image42307_11173e-75.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image42307_11173e-75 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:1000px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image42307_11173e-75.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image42307_11173e-75 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image42307_11173e-75 figure{max-width:1000px;}.kb-image42307_11173e-75 .image-is-svg, .kb-image42307_11173e-75 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image42307_11173e-75 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image42307_11173e-75\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dba-insurance-benefit-law-firm-in-north-carolina.jpg\" alt=\"A civilian contractor operates heavy construction equipment on a dusty road with helicopters and medical facilities visible in the hazy distance, demonstrating hazardous work environments where North Carolina Defense Base Act lawyers advocate for injured foreign workers.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-42311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dba-insurance-benefit-law-firm-in-north-carolina.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dba-insurance-benefit-law-firm-in-north-carolina-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Our North Carolina DBA Claim Attorneys Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Grossman Attorneys has extensive experience handling Defense Base Act claims for injured contractors throughout North Carolina. Our legal team understands the unique challenges facing workers who suffer injuries thousands of miles from home while working to support U.S. military operations and government contracts abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience with North Carolina Contractors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>North Carolina's strong military presence and robust defense contracting industry mean we regularly represent workers from Fort Liberty, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, and other installations who transition to overseas contractor positions. We understand the employment patterns, the major contractors operating in North Carolina, and the types of injuries contractors face in different overseas environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our attorneys know how to work with North Carolina medical providers to document injuries and obtain the evidence needed to prove DBA claims. We've helped injured workers access treatment at Duke University Hospital, UNC Medical Center, Carolinas Medical Center, and other facilities throughout the state while pursuing their claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehensive Case Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We handle every aspect of your DBA claim from start to finish. This includes filing all required forms with the Department of Labor, gathering medical records and employment documentation, communicating with insurance adjusters and claims examiners, scheduling and attending medical evaluations, negotiating settlements, and representing you at ALJ hearings and appeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn't have to navigate the complex federal claims process alone while recovering from serious injuries. Our attorneys take on the legal work so you can focus on getting better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fighting Insurance Company Tactics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance carriers use various tactics to deny or reduce DBA claims. They might claim your injury didn't happen at work, argue that you had a pre-existing condition, send you to company doctors who minimize your injuries, offer inadequate settlements, or simply delay processing your claim hoping you'll give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We've seen these tactics countless times, and we know how to counter them. Our attorneys push back against claim denials, challenge biased medical opinions, demand proper benefit calculations, and take cases to hearing when carriers refuse to pay what you're owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maximizing Your Recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many injured contractors don't realize the full value of their DBA claims. Benefits can include temporary total disability payments, permanent disability awards, medical treatment for life, vocational rehabilitation, and other compensation. Calculating the true value requires understanding the DBA benefit schedules, projecting future medical needs, and accounting for your lost earning capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our attorneys analyze every aspect of your case to identify all available benefits. We don't settle for less than full compensation, and we're prepared to take your case through appeals if necessary to secure the benefits you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessible Throughout North Carolina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you're in Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, or anywhere else in North Carolina, our attorneys are available to help with your injury claim. We understand that injured contractors may be dealing with ongoing medical treatment, family responsibilities, and the stress of financial uncertainty. We make the legal process as straightforward as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Statute of Limitations for DBA Claims in North Carolina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act imposes strict deadlines for filing claims and providing notice of injuries. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to benefits, regardless of how serious your injury or how clear your employer's responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notice Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must provide notice of your injury to your employer within 30 days of the injury or within 30 days of when you knew or should have known the injury was work-related. For occupational diseases or injuries that develop gradually, the notice period begins when you become aware that your condition is related to your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice doesn't need to follow a specific format. Telling your supervisor about your injury, seeking medical treatment through company channels, or filing an accident report can all constitute notice. However, written notice is always preferable because it creates a clear record of when you notified your employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 30-day notice requirement has exceptions. If your employer had actual knowledge of your injury, you may not need to provide formal notice. If extraordinary circumstances prevented you from giving notice, the Department of Labor may excuse the delay. However, don't rely on exceptions. Report your injury promptly to protect your rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claim Filing Deadline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must file your formal claim for benefits within one year of your injury or within one year of when you last received voluntary compensation payments from the carrier. This one-year statute of limitations is strict, and courts rarely excuse late filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For occupational diseases, you have two years from the date you become aware, or should be aware, that your disease is work-related to file the LS-203. This can be complex to determine, so don't wait if you suspect your health problems stem from your overseas work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exceptions and Special Circumstances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Limited exceptions to the statute of limitations exist for cases involving fraud, mental incapacity, or situations where the insurance carrier misled you about your rights. These exceptions apply rarely, and you bear the burden of proving why the exception should apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For workers who die from their injuries, the one-year filing period for death benefits begins when the death occurs, not when the original injury happened. Survivors must file within one year of the worker's death to preserve their right to death benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protecting Your Rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The safest approach is to report your injury immediately and file your claim as soon as possible. Even if you're still receiving medical treatment and don't know the full extent of your injuries, filing your claim starts the process and protects your rights. You can always amend your claim later as your condition develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're approaching the one-year deadline or have already missed it, consult with an attorney immediately. In some cases, legal arguments can extend the deadline or excuse late filing. But these situations are fact-specific, and you need legal advice quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don't let insurance adjusters mislead you about deadlines. Carriers sometimes tell injured workers to wait to file their claims or assure them that deadlines don't apply. Get independent legal advice about your filing obligations rather than trusting what the insurance company tells you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits Available to North Carolinians Under the Defense Base Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defense Base Act provides multiple types of benefits to injured workers and their families. Understanding what benefits you can receive helps you pursue full compensation for your injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DBA requires insurance carriers to provide all reasonable and necessary medical treatment for work-related injuries. This includes immediate emergency care, ongoing treatment from doctors and specialists, hospital care and surgery, prescription medications, physical therapy and rehabilitation, medical equipment and supplies, home health care when needed, and travel expenses to medical appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical benefits continue for as long as treatment is reasonably necessary. For serious injuries, this can mean lifetime medical coverage. The carrier can't cut off your medical benefits simply because you've reached maximum medical improvement or returned to work. If you need ongoing care to maintain your condition or prevent deterioration, the carrier must continue providing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have the right to choose your treating physician, though insurance carriers often try to direct you to company doctors. If your doctor recommends treatment and the carrier refuses to authorize it, you can challenge the denial. An attorney can help you obtain the medical care you need while fighting the insurance company's attempts to limit your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wage Replacement Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DBA provides compensation for lost wages when injuries prevent you from working. The amount you receive depends on your Average Weekly Wage (AWW) at the time of injury and the extent of your disability. Benefits are calculated using the LHWCA compensation schedule, which sets rates for different types and degrees of disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporary total disability benefits apply when you can't work at all during your recovery. These benefits equal two-thirds of your AWW, subject to maximum and minimum rates set by federal law. You receive these payments until you can return to work or until your condition becomes permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent total disability benefits continue for life when injuries leave you unable to perform any gainful employment. The payment rate remains two-thirds of your AWW. Permanent total disability determinations consider not just your medical condition but also your age, education, work experience, and ability to find any type of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporary partial disability benefits apply when you can work but earn less than your pre-injury wages due to your restrictions. You receive two-thirds of the difference between your pre-injury AWW and your current earning capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent partial disability benefits compensate for lasting impairments that don't completely prevent you from working. The DBA includes a schedule of benefits for specific losses like loss of limbs, vision, or hearing. For other permanent impairments, benefits are calculated based on your reduced earning capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vocational Rehabilitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work but you retain some work capacity, you may be entitled to vocational rehabilitation services. Vocational rehabilitation is coordinated through OWCP and services are provided at no cost to the worker. The employer or carrier must cooperate and continue paying any owed compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocational rehabilitation can include job training, education programs, job placement assistance, and adaptive equipment or accommodations. These services help you develop new skills and find employment that accommodates your restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disfigurement Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Serious scars, burns, or other disfigurement to the face, head, or neck can result in additional compensation under the DBA. These benefits compensate for the cosmetic impact and any social or economic disadvantages resulting from visible disfigurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disability Benefits Under the Defense Base Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Disability benefits under the Defense Base Act fall into four main categories, each with different eligibility requirements and payment calculations. Understanding these categories helps you determine what benefits you should receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporary total disability applies when your injury completely prevents you from working during your recovery period. You receive two-thirds of your Average Weekly Wage, subject to federal maximum and minimum rates that adjust annually. These benefits continue until you can return to work, reach maximum medical improvement, or your condition becomes permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent total disability provides lifetime benefits when your injuries permanently prevent all gainful employment. The standard is whether you can perform any work, not just your previous job. Factors include your medical restrictions, age, education, transferable skills, and realistic employment opportunities. You receive two-thirds of your AWW for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temporary partial disability compensates workers who can perform some work but earn less due to injury-related restrictions. You receive two-thirds of the difference between your pre-injury wages and your current earnings. These benefits continue until your condition stabilizes or you recover your full earning capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Permanent partial disability benefits apply when you have lasting impairment but retain some work capacity. The LHWCA includes a schedule specifying benefits for certain losses. Loss of an arm results in 312 weeks of compensation at two-thirds of your AWW. Loss of a leg provides 288 weeks. Loss of a hand, foot, eye, or hearing in one ear each has specific benefit periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For permanent impairments not listed in the schedule, benefits are calculated based on your loss of earning capacity. Medical evidence and vocational assessments help determine what percentage of your earning ability you've lost. You then receive two-thirds of that loss, calculated against your AWW, for the duration of the impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Death Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When contractors die from work-related injuries or illnesses, the Defense Base Act provides death benefits to surviving spouses, children, and other dependents. These benefits help families cope with the financial impact of losing their loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surviving spouses receive 50 percent of the deceased worker's AWW for life or until remarriage. Upon remarriage, the spouse receives a lump sum payment equal to two years of benefits. If the surviving spouse was partially dependent on the worker, benefits are proportional to the degree of dependency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children receive benefits until age 18, or until age 23 if enrolled in school full-time. Each child receives one-sixth of the worker's AWW, with a family maximum of two-thirds of the AWW. Children who are incapable of self-support due to disability can receive benefits for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other dependents who relied on the deceased worker for financial support may also qualify for benefits. This can include elderly parents, siblings, or other relatives who were receiving regular support. The amount depends on the degree of dependency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burial expenses up to $3,000 are available to help families with funeral costs. The insurance carrier must pay these expenses in addition to ongoing death benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Death benefit claims must be filed within one year of the worker's death. Surviving family members should consult with an attorney immediately to ensure they file timely claims and receive all benefits they're entitled to under the DBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Our North Carolina Defense Base Act Law Firm Today for Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you've been injured while working overseas as a contractor, don't wait to get legal help.
