If You Were Injured in Japan You May Be Entitled to DBA Compensation

There are many longshore and harbor workers who have been injured in Japan in a variety of circumstances. A DBA injury is a serious matter, and any civilian contract personnel who have sustained such an accident should be afforded the medical care and resources they need. Too often, however, injured contractors are expected to file their claim and navigate the system on their own. This would be a difficult task to require of anybody, but it is even more stressful for a recently hurt person. The United States has maintained a military presence in Japan since the 1940s, and workers continue to service the bases in and around the island. Workers most often report an injury from any number of the following locales:

• MCAS Futenma
• Misawa Air Base
• Fort Buckner
• Yokota Air Base
• Camp Lester
• Camp Kisner
• Kadena Air Base
• Fleet Activities Yokosuka
• Camp Courtney
• Naval Air Facility Atsugi
• Camp McTureous
• Camp Zama
• Yontan Airfield
• Camp Fuji
• Camp Hansen
• MCAS Iwakuni
• Torii Station
• Fleet Activities Sasebo
• Camp S.D. Butler
• Camp Gonsalves
