Work Injury Lawyers, Workers Comp Claims & Workplace Injury Rights

Workers' compensation laws are in place in every state in the U.S. And at the federal level, a number of similar laws exist to get benefits to workers in specific fields who have been injured on the job. In most instances, filing a claim under these laws takes the place of filing a lawsuit. 

For assistance with filing a claim under your state's workers' compensation system (or under one of the federal programs discussed below), you may want to speak with an experienced workplae injury attorney.

Federal Employees' Compensation Act

The Federal Employees' Compensation Act provides compensation to non-military, federal employees who have been injured on the job. The act covers medical expenses due to total or partial disability, and provides lost wage benefits and vocational rehabilitation. The FECA also provides "survivor benefits" to the eligible dependents of federal employees' whose on-the-job injuries prove fatal.
