Your First Step After a Work Injury

If you have been injured on the job, your first step is to report the injury to your employer. Whether your injury was the result of an accident or an occupational injury that developed over time, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, this step is critical. You are entitled to benefits that include wages, payment for medical care and, if necessary, vocational rehabilitation.

Has Your Federal Workers’ Compensation Claim Been Denied?

The process of applying for benefits is fairly straightforward. However, if your claim is denied, it is critical that you enlist an experienced attorney. You are entitled to appeal the decision. Your appeal rights start with the right to request reconsideration from the issuing district office. We can help with all phases of your appeal. It is important to note that these disputes are resolved administratively, thereby avoiding costly and lengthy litigation.
