You may live in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, but if you are a civilian, non-military employee of the federal government – an employee of NUWC, a longshoreman or a postal carrier, for instance - and are injured at work, you are not covered by Workers Compensation.
Instead, U.S. government employees are covered by the Federal Employee Compensation Act (FECA) which has some key differences from workers compensation, especially when it comes to payment for lost wages.
If you are a federal employee who was injured performing your work duties, we can help.
Karns Law Group is experienced in the nuances of FECA claims and know how to navigate the Division of Federal Employees' Compensation, part of the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers Compensation Programs.
We understand the stress that comes from any workplace injury, and offer you the compassionate, personalized service of a small firm, with the knowledge and experience of a larger one. Call the Karns Law Group today at 888-KARNS-LAW or 401-841-5300 for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation. |
