Bellwood Prestbury is an expert at providing international insurance for companies and individuals in war zones and high-risk areas, and as such we regularly arrange Defense Base Act insurance for expatriate workforces and individual contractors – particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq.
If you operate a contract with the US military or are involved with civil or humanitarian contracts with US Government departments outside the US, you are legally obliged to cover your workers with DBA insurance. Failure to do so can lead to loss of contracts and leave you open to legal action in the US Federal courts. If an employee or contractor were injured or killed without DBA insurance in place, your organisation would be directly liable for large compensation costs.
Defense Base Act insurance – what does it cover?
Defense Base Act insurance covers you for:
- Death benefits for a spouse or child, which may be payable for life, adjusted for cost of living rises
- Disability cover up to two-thirds of income
- Partial loss of earnings, up to half of income
- Medical cover and treatment with a physician of choice as the injury may require
