Helping Injured Postal Workers Secure the Compensation They Deserve
At Zaldivar Law, we understand the challenges injured postal workers face when navigating the complex claims process under the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). Attorney Carlos Zaldivar is committed to helping federal employees, particularly postal workers, secure the compensation and medical treatment they are entitled to through the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP).
Understanding OWCP Claims for Postal Workers
The OWCP, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, provides wage replacement benefits, medical treatment, and vocational rehabilitation to federal employees who suffer work-related injuries. However, many injured postal workers struggle with denied claims, delayed payments, and difficulty accessing necessary medical care.
Carlos Zaldivar has extensive experience assisting postal workers with their OWCP claims, ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve. His expertise in federal workers’ compensation law allows him to effectively advocate for injured employees at every stage of the claims process.
Common Challenges Postal Workers Face in OWCP Claims
Postal workers face unique occupational hazards, from repetitive motion injuries to slip-and-fall accidents. Unfortunately, many federal employees experience challenges such as:
Denied or Delayed Claims – Many claims are rejected due to incomplete documentation or failure to meet strict filing deadlines.
Difficulty Obtaining Medical Treatment – Injured workers often struggle to find doctors familiar with OWCP requirements.
Lost Wages and Financial Hardship – Delayed benefits can create financial strain, making it difficult for employees to recover properly.
Carlos Zaldivar works closely with injured postal workers to ensure their claims are properly filed, appeals are effectively handled, and medical evidence is thoroughly documented to strengthen their case.
