    Injured Federal Employees

    Injured Federal Workers

    Need OWCP Specialists to assist with treatment and processing the federal workers claim.

    The OWCP Approved doctors and other professionals at Fed Help Medical Centers are Federal Workers' Compensation specialists who have examined and treated many on the job injured Federal Workers for extensive types of illnesses and injuries. In many cases, an injured Federal Employee may not be able to pinpoint when he/she was injured on the job.

    This can often be the case with exposure diseases or other long term job related risk factors. In some cases, the job duties and tasks may exacerbate or reveal an underlying medical problem that creates or accelerates an injury or illness.

    Understanding occupational and traumatic injuries

    Some workers develop occupational disease or injury due to exposure to work risk factors such as repeated, excessive activity like bending, carrying weight or hazardous substances such as lead poisoning, fumes, asbestos, mold, continual hours and overuse of joints as part of Federal Employment duties.

    In other cases, such as a traumatic injury that is a sudden one time incident on one work shift like a car accident on work hours, a sprain, a push or pull, struck by equipment (GPS, forklift), slip or fall, customs boating rough seas, combative altercations securing borders, subdue inmates in BOP, etc. the doctors rely partly on the injured worker's statement, the key details of the incident, the description of symptoms, the physical examination, and diagnostics to determine the nature and extent of the worker's injury. If there are any underlying or accelerated effects of the injuries or illnesses our specialists will have you start a proper physical therapy regimen.
