Did you know that you and your family have a right to compensation should you acquire work-related injuries or contract an occupational disease? You have the right to wage-loss compensation along with medical and rehabilitation services coverage. At Florida Wellness in Tampa, we focus on your well-being. We are here to assist you in your medical and rehab needs.
We understand that getting injured at work is overwhelming because it’s your source of income at risk. However, that shouldn’t stop you from getting the proper treatments your injuries require. Even minor injuries can become a major health problem for you and for the federal business agency. What you may consider as an insignificant sprain or strain can evolve into a greater health issue and may limit your ability to do your job. You cannot be fired for filing a federal worker’s compensation claim. However, you may be laid-off if the injuries sustained impede you from performing your duties properly. Let us help you get your health back.
Inform your supervisor of your injury promptly and get your worker’s compensation application started soon. They will instruct you on how to proceed. Here is the link to access Federal Employees’ Compensation Forms from the U.S. Department of Labor:
