The often thankless and difficult nature of USPS last mile federal worker is fraught with risks and opportunity for injuries, and many workers are of the opinion that reporting their injuries may put their jobs at jeopardy. Working for the USPS is often seen as a stable job with great benefits, so many would be recalcitrant or hesitate to report their injuries due to the fact that they are supporting entire families and are aware of the often abysmal job market.

USPS workers often have to contend with aggressive drivers, dangerous dogs as well as hot or inclement weather, making their job challenging in more ways than one. Supervisors have also been accused of being unreasonable, asking USPS last mile workers to work through the pain and not complain lest they are written up and are asked to remain back while others service their routes. Under the Whistleblower Protection Act, it is illegal to victimize anyone who reports an injury or hazard that may cause the same, and the law may take action to discipline anyone who does so.

Injured Federal Worker Whistleblower Protection Laws – What Do They Say?

Injured federal workers must be able to come forward and report any injuries or safety violations without fear, as this not only benefits them, but others who may be at risk of getting injured if the injurious agent is not taken care of. 

To this end, the Whistleblower Protection Act or WPA was created, prohibiting any form of retaliation against any federal workers who choose to report any workplace violations. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA has specific regulations protecting against the same.

Many USPS workers may fear that their jobs could be terminated, or they may face harassment as well as a hostile work environment. It is important to note that you have the right to report an injury without fear of negative consequences, and should this occur, you can seek legal recourse via an attorney at our law firm who can then help you file complaints with the regulatory agencies to report the discriminatory parties. 

Why You Need a Federal Workers’ Injury Attorney 

Legal counsel in federal workers’ compensation process is vital due to a number of reasons. For starters, an experienced federal workers’ compensation lawyer will clarify your rights as well as the various legal protections available to you under federal law. In addition, they will get to work at assisting and preparation of your claims, ensuring that all necessary documentation is filed and that there are no snafus during the process.

Next, they will refer you to a physician that understands the federal workers’ compensation process so that your medical report demonstrates clear and unequivocal causation between your injuries and the accident which caused it. They will also help in the communication between you and OWCP so that you do not have to go back and forth providing them with technical information or documentation you may not understand or be aware of.

Lastly, a federal workers’ compensation lawyer will also communicate with your employer, ensuring that all communication is handled in a professional and respectful manner in order to protect your inalienable rights.
