The Federal Workers' Compensation Act (FECA) provides medical and wage loss benefits for Federal civilian employees who are injured on the job.
FECA claims are processed by the Department of Labor, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP).
Appeals of OWCP Decisions are heard by the Employees Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB).
OWCP claims are often technical and protracted. Processing of claims can be delayed by bureaucratic inefficiencies. Meritorious claims are often denied due to technical defects.
We have assisted a variety of federal personnel employed by various agencies, such as: USPS, US Mint, TSA, IRS, EPA, DOE, BOP, FAA, DOI, OPM, SBA, VA etc.
A legal consultation regarding your claim may save time and energy in the future and get your claim off to a solid start.
