FECA protects three million Federal workers
A COST-EFFECTIVE SELF-INSURANCE SYSTEM FECA protects three million Federal workers from economic hardship due to work injury and illness. Included among the executive, legislative and judicial branch employees covered by FECA are civilian Defense workers, medical workers in Veterans' hospitals, and the 800,000 workers of the Postal Service, the country's largest civilian employer.
West Virginia Worker's Compensation Lawyers are attorneys who specialize
in Workers Compensation law and all aspects relating to that field.
Workers' Compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees
who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary
compensation; thus, eliminating the need for frivolous litigation. But sometimes companies
and private employers subvert these laws and fail to pay sufficient
money to those injured or disabled on the job.
