What We Do
Free, Expert OWCP Claims Assistance — Every Form, Every Step
The OWCP system is complex and unforgiving. One missed deadline or incorrect form can derail a legitimate claim. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
CA-1, CA-2 & All OWCP Forms
We complete and review every form correctly the first time — CA-1 (traumatic injury), CA-2 (occupational disease), CA-7 (wage loss), CA-16 (auth for treatment), CA-17, CA-20, OWCP-957 mileage reimbursement, and more.
Excellent Care from Federal Comp Experts
Our certified DOL doctors specialize in treating federal workers. Real medical care from clinicians who understand FECA, federal duty restrictions, and what your agency needs to see in the documentation.
COP, Wage Loss & Compensation
We help you secure the full 45 days of Continuation of Pay, build the case for wage loss compensation, schedule awards, and every other dollar you're entitled to under federal law.
Claim Reviews & Appeals
Was your claim denied or controverted? Bring us your file. We'll review every line, identify what's missing, and help you build a strong reconsideration or appeal package to OWCP.
Mileage Reimbursement
Driving to medical appointments adds up. We help you file OWCP-957 forms so every mile traveled for authorized care is reimbursed — money back in your pocket.
Friendly, Helpful Staff
You're not a number here. Our team treats every federal worker with respect, answers every question, and stays with you from your first visit through final case resolution.

You Have the Right to Choose Your Own Treating Doctor.

After 22 years carrying mail, my back finally gave out. I didn't know where to start with the claim. Federal Injury Centers handled my paperwork, got me to the right doctor, and made sure I received every day of COP I was owed. I can't recommend them enough.

Common Questions
Answers for Injured Federal Workers
Short, straight answers to the questions we hear every day. Have one we didn't cover? Ask us in the claim review form below.
Will I pay anything out of pocket?
No. All authorized care related to your accepted federal injury claim is billed directly to the Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (DOL-OWCP). You should never receive a bill from us for covered treatment.
Do I really get to choose my own doctor?
Yes. Under FECA, injured federal employees have the right to select their own treating physician. You are not required to see a doctor chosen by your supervisor or agency. Choosing a DOL-certified federal comp expert protects your claim and your health.
What is Continuation of Pay (COP) — and how do I get it?
For traumatic injuries (filed on a CA-1), federal employees are entitled to up to 45 calendar days of full regular pay while recovering from a work-related injury. To claim COP, the CA-1 must be filed within 30 days of injury and medical evidence must support disability. We help ensure your paperwork supports your full COP entitlement.
My claim was denied. Is there anything you can do?
Often, yes. Denials and controverted claims frequently come down to missing or weak medical documentation. We review your case, identify what OWCP needs, and help build a reconsideration or appeal — including stronger physician narratives, additional medical evidence, and proper forms.
I'm a postal worker (USPS). Do you handle my type of injuries?
Absolutely. USPS workers are one of our largest patient populations. We treat the full range of postal injuries — back injuries from lifting, knee and shoulder injuries from years of carrying, repetitive stress, dog bites, motor vehicle injuries, slip-and-falls, and occupational disease claims.
What about my mileage to appointments?
Federal workers are entitled to reimbursement for mileage traveled to authorized medical appointments via OWCP form 957. We help you file these forms accurately so you get every dollar back.
What does the free claim review cover?
An experienced team member will review your injury, your current claim status, any forms already filed, and the documentation in your case file. We'll explain what FECA entitles you to, identify gaps or risks in your current claim, and outline exactly what to do next. There is no cost and no obligation.
