BRIDGES V. GATEN’S ADVENTURES UNLIMITED, L.L.C.

This was an example of the employer punishing the employee for having an accident and asserting her right to workers’ compensation benefits. My client was driving a charter bus full of school children. One child was in a wheelchair and needed a parent to assist getting him on and off of the bus. At one stop the parent was having trouble getting the child back on, so my client helped. Unfortunately, she hut her lower back in the process.

ALBERT V. STRATEGIC RESTAURANTS ACQUISITION CO.

In 2013, Louisiana had enacted a new process, called a Preliminary Determination Hearing, to allow an employer a practice trial in front of the workers’ compensation judge and get an advisory opinion on the issues raised by the claimant in the lawsuit.  The decision was not binding, nor could it be appealed.  The losing side had the opportunity to accept the recommendations and avoid the penalty of possible penalties and attorney fees, or could proceed to a trial on the merits.

SALOMONE V. GREATER GULF COAST AUTO AUCTIONS

This is probably my fondest case over my entire career because it was a true David vs. Goliath story, and a perfect example of how an insurance company can build trust with an injured worker and use that trust to its advantage.

As a federal employee, you have come to expect certain employee benefits to be there for you when you need them. Like any injured worker, you believe you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits when your medical condition results from your job. However, the federal government is very strict about granting workers compensation benefits. Contact Sarphie Law to learn more about the workers’ compensation process and your legal rights.

How and When To File an OWCP Claim

The Federal Employees Compensation Act allows federal civilian employees to receive medical coverage and a portion of their lost wages when they have suffered a work-related injury or illness. To qualify for benefits, you would need to file a claim with the Office of Workers Compensation Programs (OWCP), which would review your claim and determine whether or not you are eligible for benefits.

If you have suffered a permanent disability, you may be entitled to a schedule award based on the percentage of disability to a certain body part. This determination would be made after you have reached the point of maximum medical improvement, where further medical treatment may not result in any change to your condition.

Why Your OWCP Claim May Be Denied

As with any other workers’ compensation program, you must prove that you suffered a work-related injury. OWCP is extremely strict when granting a worker’s compensation claim. OWCP could deny your claim for the following reasons:

  • They do not believe you suffered an actual injury that would impair your ability to work.
  • They do not think that your injury was work-related.
  • They claim your injury was actually a pre-existing condition, rather than the result of something that happened on the job.

When a client is denied their benefits, they are essentially being told that they

believed. They’re people told this by people who they have never met, and 
sometimes, never spoken to. We can help… so we do.
