Defense Base Act Case Advice and Testimonials
Defense Base Act Tips if Your Are Considering Filing a Claim
If I could only give my clients one piece of advice it would probably be to document everything. DBA cases are built on documentary evidence – this means that one of the most valuable parts of your case is the documents, such as incident reports, journal entries, emails and medical records. If you are still working and thinking about filing an injury claim, the following things will be a big help to your case:
1. Report your injury to your employer in writing and keep a personal copy
2. Fill out a company incident report form if you can
3. Save all emails related to your injury (I recommend forwarding a copy to your personal email address)
4. Get a copy of all medical reports related to your injury – this includes medics, doctors, counselors, etc.
There are potential pitfalls you can run into with your case, and we want to help you avoid them as much as possible. You may not even realize the pitfall is there so always keep us informed.
