1. Seek immediate medical attention: The first and most crucial step is to seek medical attention for your injury. Your health and well-being should be the top priority. If it's an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If it's not an emergency, notify your supervisor and request permission to seek medical treatment.
2. Complete the CAA ten form: As soon as possible, you need to complete the CAA ten form. This form documents the details of your work-related injury, including the date, time, location, and nature of the injury. It's essential to provide accurate and thorough information to ensure your claim is properly processed.
3. Notify your supervisor: Inform your supervisor about the injury and provide them with a copy of the completed CAA ten form. This step is crucial for initiating the workers' compensation process and ensuring that your injury is properly reported within the required timeframe.
4. Follow the instructions of your agency: Each federal agency may have specific protocols and procedures for handling workplace injuries. It's essential to follow their instructions and guidance regarding reporting, documentation, and any additional steps that need to be taken.
5. Keep copies of all documentation: Make sure to keep copies of all the documentation related to your injury, including the CAA ten form, medical records, and any communication with your supervisor or agency. These documents will be valuable throughout the claims process.
6. Consult with a workers' compensation attorney if needed: If you encounter any difficulties or have concerns about your workers' compensation claim, it may be beneficial to consult with a workers' compensation attorney who specializes in federal employee cases. They can provide guidance, advocate for your rights, and ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
