Tampa Defense Base Act Attorney
About the Defense Base Act
The United States government, as a way to provide coverage and insurance for any military personnel stationed overseas, enacted the Defense Base Act (DBA) back in 1941. While originally passed to only protect military personnel, the Act now covers any individual working outside the United States who has been contracted or is affiliated with the government in any way, military or otherwise. Under the DBA, contractors and other employers bear the responsibility for obtaining DBA insurance for every qualifying employee. Failure to provide this insurance can result in stiff penalties and the possibility that the government contract will be lost.
Depending on the situation, contractors and out of country employers may also receive additional punishments, which can seriously threaten the business and livelihood of the accused individual or organization. In recent years the importance of Defense Base Act insurance has taken on a new life due to exceedingly dangerous working conditions in the Middle East and other volatile countries. If you stand accused of a Defense Base Act violation, you should contact a Tampa employment defense attorney without delay.
