Very few of my clients have this problem. I try to make it very clear that a claimant receiving Federal Workers’ Compensation is not on vacation. A claimant is never too busy to go to vocational rehabilitation.
Very few of my clients have this problem. I try to make it very clear that a claimant receiving Federal Workers’ Compensation is not on vacation. A claimant is never too busy to go to vocational rehabilitation. The claimant is not expected to participate in recreational activities. The claimant is not expected to be a child care provider. The claimant is not expected to hunt alligators (see R.T. and US Postal Service September 19, 2014; 114 LRP 4576).
I do not represent concerning criminal charges. This requires an attorney in the state where the charges are made. However, I do offer my services to my clients as an expert witness – free of charge. Several clients have recently been acquitted due to the good work of their counsel. Please note that even a plea of guilty of a state or federal statute will result in complete termination of the claim and any pension rights. This is like death without resurrection.
