The Defense Act Compensation Blog Archives
Injured Overseas and War Zone Contractors often find themselves in this battle for medical care and other benefits
afforded them under the Defense Base Act.
AIG and CNA ruthlessly delay and deny claims with no remorse for the lives they destroy.
The Department of Labor has served as a poor administrator allowing these insurance company tactics and sometimes
even supporting them.
The Defense Base Act itself has been twisted to better meet the needs of the insurance company.

We are injured overseas and war zone contractors and family members living this in real time.

Welcome to the Defense Base Act


$$$$   We are the Best Kept Secret of the Wars   $$$$


DoL Jacksonville District Office and CNA Blood on their Hands

Is the Department of Labor covering up for companies who
fail to provide DBA Insurance and those who fail to file
claims, late or never? and how should the taxpayer feel
about them hiring “Reputation Management” Firms to cover
up their cover ups?

CNA Lies to the DoL

Civilian Contractor Casualty Count

Our Fallen Contractors Memorial

At Least 121 Civilian Contractor Deaths in Third Quarter of

After Injury, The Battle Begins House Oversight Committee


“Something cruel, heartless and cynical took place in the
back rooms of carriers with responsibility for civilian claims.
If you like Edgar Alan Poe, you’ll love the claims files of AIG
and CNA.”

War Hazards Act pays Insurance Companies

more for expenses

than to Claimants for compensation
