What is Federal Worker’s Compensation?

Federal Worker’s Compensation is a program created to support federal employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses. It covers medical care, lost wages, and rehabilitation services. Federal claims are managed by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP), unlike state workers’ compensation programs.

Common Federal Worker’s Comp Injuries We Treat

Federal employees often face unique hazards on the job, and at Momentum Medical, we’re experienced in treating a wide range of workplace injuries. Some common injuries we see include:

  • Repetitive Stress Injuries: Common among desk workers or employees performing repetitive motions.
  • Back and Neck Pain: Often caused by lifting heavy objects or poor ergonomics.
  • Slips, Trips, and Falls: Injuries resulting from accidents in the workplace.
  • Occupational Illnesses: Such as respiratory issues caused by exposure to hazardous substances.

How to File a Federal Worker's Comp Claim

Filing a federal worker’s comp claim involves several steps:

  1. Report the Injury
    • Notify your supervisor and ensure the injury is documented immediately.
  2. Complete the Necessary Forms
    • You must fill out specific forms like the CA-1 for traumatic injuries or CA-2 for occupational illnesses.
  3. Seek Medical Treatment
    • It’s important to visit a doctor experienced with federal worker’s comp cases, like our team at Momentum Medical.
    • NOTE: Choosing an experienced doctor from the start significantly increases your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve. Selecting the wrong doctor can severely harm your case. While we have managed to recover many mismanaged cases from physicians inexperienced in federal workers’ compensation, some are beyond repair. Seeing the right doctor early on is crucial to protect your claim and improve your outcome.
  4. Follow Through with Your Claim: We can assist you in working with the OWCP to ensure your paperwork is complete and your claim is processed efficiently.
