The Federal Employment Compensation Act
Workers who are injured on the job may find themselves unable to perform the required duties of their position and may be forced to miss significant time at work. In order to provide financial support for injured employees and prevent lawsuits against employers, workers’ compensation laws ensure that employees will receive compensation if they are injured in the workplace.
Laws like the Federal Employment Compensation Act contain provisions that allow for financial support in the event of a workplace injury. If you have been wrongly denied workers’ compensation support, contact the experienced Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511 today.
Federal Employment Compensation Act
Non-military federal employees are covered by the Federal Employment Compensation Act. It provides:
- Awards limited to disability or death sustained during the performance of one’s duties
- Coverage of medical expenses for injuries that cause disability
- Coverage of rehabilitation and re-training expenses
- Partial salary payments during rehabilitation
- Coverage for permanent disability
- Financial support for the dependents of injured or disabled individuals
As with most types of workers’ compensation coverage, the Federal Employment Compensation Act provides protection for persons who are injured as long as they were not intoxicated or under the influence of drugs while performing their duties.
