If you are employed by a company under contract with the United States government outside the U.S., and are injured at work, you have the right to benefits under U.S. law.  More specifically you would be entitled to benefits under the Defense Base Act.  This law protects ALL injured employees, regardless of their citizenship or nationality. You must notify your employer immediately of an injury or accident and a claim must be filed within one year with the U.S. Department of Labor.  Under the law you will be entitled to select your doctor and you may be entitled to wage compensation if unable or restricted to work
