We will make sure your compensation battle is fought correctly and with intelligence. If you are a longshore worker, ship-repairer, shipbuilder or ship-breaker, or harbor construction workers with a major injury, call today!
DEFENSE BASED ACT (DBA)
Defense Based Act claims are another special set of laws that we know like the back of our hand. While these claims are processed in the same court as The Longshore and Harbor Worker’s Compensation Act, they deal with a different set of laws that requires a real expert to tackle. DBA is a type of workers’ compensation for employees of a federal government contractor that are injured in the country or abroad. An example of this would be, a man maintaining a warehouse for the Army in Afghanistan that injures his leg during a forklift operation. If you feel that you apply to this type of claim do not hesitate to call us today!
What Our customers Are Saying
"I want to express my deep gratitude to Mr. John Ray and his law firm for their exceptional service during one of the most difficult times in my life. After suffering a work-related injury and facing my wife's cancer diagnosis just a month later, I was overwhelmed—especially with navigating the workers' compensation process.
Mr. Ray’s professionalism, expertise, and down-to-earth attitude brought me much-needed peace of mind. Thanks to his dedication, we were able to secure a favorable outcome, and I will always be grateful for his guidance and support.
I also want to sincerely thank his incredible staff—Mrs. Beka, Mrs. Annika, and Mrs. Nadya. Their professionalism, positive attitudes, and willingness to help made a tough journey a little easier. They were truly a pleasure to work with.
Thank you all for being there when I needed it most. I highly recommend The Ray Law Firm for your WC needs."

"I was referred to the firm by another attorney. My experience was great. I had read Mr. Ray's bio before even calling. His actions speak louder than words. Our first meeting was not rushed. The office is very organized, and his staff is very friendly and professional. He fought for my case. I was updated on any status changes. I highly recommend him for all of your Worker's Comp needs."
-Yolanda.
