Description
Better understand the differences between the FECA process and state workers compensation.
There are over two million federal employees working directly for the United States Government in civil service. These range from postal workers to air traffic controllers to federal law enforcement officers. When these employees are injured on the job, they cannot sue their employer nor can they avail themselves to state workers compensation systems. Instead, they must file claims under the Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA), an administrative process with no judicial review. This is a dramatically underserved group of injured workers who need representation.
