New Jersey Federal Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Protecting the Rights of Injured Department of Veterans Affairs Employees
When you work at a veteran’s facility, from a VA hospital to a retirement home, the risks of injury can be great. If you are a medical caregiver, you can be hurt trying to lift, move or restrain a patient. Workers in retirement or medical facilities can also be subject to assault.
As a federal employee, when you have been hurt on the job, any workers’ compensation benefits you seek must be under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), the federal equivalent of a workers’ compensation program. The procedures and benefits set forth under FECA are very different from those found in state workers’ compensation laws. Accordingly, you want an experienced and knowledgeable federal employee injury lawyer who has successfully protected the rights of others in similar circumstances to handle your case.
