<p data-start="0" data-end="661" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Filing a successful Defense Base Act compensation claim requires careful attention to detail and timely action. The first step is to report your injury or illness to your employer as soon as possible, ensuring it&rsquo;s properly documented. Next, seek immediate medical care and keep thorough records of all treatments and expenses. You will then need to file a formal claim (Form LS-203) with the U.S. Department of Labor within the required time frame. Working with an attorney who understands the Defense Base Act can improve your chances of approval, as they can help navigate disputes, gather evidence, and ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.
