How Federal Workers' Compensation Works

Understanding How Federal Workers' Compensation Works

If you’ve been injured while working for the federal government, it's important to understand how federal workers' compensation (comp) operates. All federal employees are covered under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), which provides benefits like medical expenses and wage replacement for work-related injuries. However, the claims process can be complex, requiring strict compliance with OWCP (Office of Workers' Compensation Programs) guidelines and timelines.

Comprehensive Care and Claims Assistance

At Federal Injury Centers of Utah, we don’t just offer medical care—we guide you through every step of the claims process. With no upfront costs or fees, we ensure you receive proper medical attention and expert support to file your claim accurately, helping you avoid common pitfalls and denials. Our team is well-versed in OWCP procedures, making sure your case is handled efficiently from start to finish.

Federal Workers and OWCP Challenges

Getting an OWCP claim approved can be difficult due to strict timelines, medical documentation requirements, and complex forms. Many federal employees struggle with claims, leading to only a small percentage being approved. However, at Federal Injury Centers of Utah, we have an experienced team of medical professionals and OWCP consultants dedicated to helping you recover and secure your benefits. Our success rate in getting claims approved is nearly 100%, compared to the national average of just 3%.

OWCP Experts at Your Service

Our team of OWCP consultants has helped federal employees across the nation receive the compensation they deserve. If your claim has been denied, we will work with you to refile and fight for your benefits. Denied claims are often due to insufficient medical reports, but our FIC-trained doctors are experts in providing the necessary documentation and proof OWCP requires.
