CONFIDENTIAL & FREE CONSULTATION Experienced Defense Base Act Lawyers Serving San Francisco, CA WERE YOU HURT WHILE WORKING FOR THE US MILITARY OR OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF THE US GOVERNMENT? The Defense Base Act is a Federal law that dates back to World War II. It currently provides significant and valuable protection to defense contractors and their employees who are providing services to the United States Military (Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Force) overseas and in occupied territories. This is a form of worker’s compensation, so there does not have to be a liability component to the case. In other words, you don’t have to prove that somebody else was at fault for the accident. If we can prove that, that makes your case better, but all that we have to establish is that you were injured while on assignment overseas, at defense bases throughout the world or in occupied territories. Our San Francisco, CA clients who qualify for Defense Base Act coverage will receive any and all necessary medical care and treatment, lost wages, incidental expenses, and may qualify for a settlement at the conclusion of the case. The injury can be of any type: a motor vehicle accident while transporting troops, a motor vehicle accident while simply delivering supplies, falling down a flight of steps on the way to render translation services, or, unfortunately, being injured in a military action. There are also death benefits should your loved one be killed while working for the United States military or other governmental agencies. We handle DBA cases all over the world from our base of operations in California. California is home to significant military bases and significant contractors doing business on all seven continents. We can secure translators should you need them for any consultation. You do not need to be a United States citizen to qualify under the Defense Base Act (DBA). Currently, there are thousands of workers who are injured on reconstruction projects in war-torn Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas of the Middle East. Due to the region’s hostile and dangerous conditions, civilian workers are too often placed in harm’s way with high risks of job injuries or even death. Any company working under contract with the U.S. must provide their employees with benefit coverage under the Defense Base Act for injuries on the job. We can help you figure out your rights. It is vitally important that you give your employer written notice of your injury and vitally important that you secure legal counsel and representation promptly. Unfortunately, many San Francisco employers do not fully advise you of your rights, and may leave you in the dark” as to your right to medical care, lost wages, and a potential settlement.

Dave Mara comes with a very high recommendation. He took a workmans compensation case for me and really handled it well. It was an unclear case, and a new issue that the WC most likely had never seen. He kept me up to date with the long confusing process and was very understanding and sympathetic to my plight( I was the victim of a violent crime). Dave has no big lawyer shenanigans and dramatic posing, he is a down to earth, fair , honest hard working lawyer who really does not seem like an an attorney at all. I recommend anyone in the SD area to consult with Dave it was a painless process. Linda D San Francisco I remember screaming at a dear friend of mine saying, WHY WON’T THE INSURANCE COVER MY TREATMENT!” He said, …because they know if they do it will increase your settlement.” I said, WHAT SETTLEMENT! I JUST WANT TO GET TREATMENT! I DIDN’T ASK FOR A SETTLEMENT!” Somewhere I found out that for some insurance companies they are more concerned with protecting their money. This means you are thinking about treatment and getting better while they are thinking about money. Get someone that is on your side that will fight for you. They fought for me…and won.
