Some workers are covered by various compensation systems, such as:nn The Maritime Act: This Act provides compensation to injured maritime workers.n The Defense Base Act: This Act covers anyone who is working for or is enlisted in the military. Those stationed overseas or on a military base are consistently tied to their jobs and should receive compensation for any injury.n The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act: This Act is used to serve all workers who are on the docks or working in longshore jobs. These workers are covered under this law for any injury that occurs on the job. Even though these workers are on state land when they are injured, they are covered under federal law because their jobs are dangerous.nnWhen someone has been injured or killed on the job, they need to know how they are covered.
