Defense Base Act

The best defense for your overseas employees.

If your company contracts with the U.S. government to provide services on overseas military bases or federally funded public works projects, your people need protection that travels well. Zurich is one of a handful of companies offering Defense Base Act workers’ compensation insurance – coverage the U.S. government requires private contractors like you to provide to your employees.

Zurich's worldwide presence in over 170 countries provides you with the resources to deliver the protection your employees need when they're working abroad under federal contracts.  We’ve even created a dedicated team to handle Defense Base Act workers’ compensation claims, providing specialized capabilities and response for this very special line of business. This team works hand-in-hand with special investigation firms to identify the appropriate beneficiaries and give them the assistance they need. 

Doing business for the government overseas can be complicated enough. So why not make it easier for yourself and your employees when they travel overseas on government contracts? Send Zurich DBA insurance with them.
