Written by longtime OWCP expert Lenny Perez, the book provides a detailed guide to understanding and navigating the maze of federal workers compensation complexities, confusion and conundrums so that the injured federal employee can learn what needs to be done to file and win a federal workers’ comp claim. The book is based on the author’s thirty-plus years of first-hand experience helping federal employees hurt on the job file workers’ compensation claims and get the medical care and compensation they are entitled to under the Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA).
“Federal Workers Compensation Made Easy” is a helpful guide for workers facing the daunting task of dealing with not only their work-related injuries but an unfriendly, adversarial bureaucracy bent on putting obstacles within their path.
