Injuries and Risks for Federal Air Marshal Services (FAMS)
The confined nature of aircraft, combined with the unpredictable nature of your duties, exposes Federal Air Marshals to significant risks. You may suffer injuries from turbulence, lifting heavy luggage, or physical altercations with non-compliant passengers. There are also the physical rigors of tactical training exercises that often result in acute injuries or chronic conditions. Beyond traumatic events, the requirements of the job, such as prolonged sitting or standing in varied pressure environments, can lead to long-term occupational illnesses. We understand your injuries may not always be visible immediately, but they’re no less valid under federal law.
Understanding Your Rights as a Federal Employee
Legal systems are complex and overwhelming, and can feel even more so when navigating them at the federal level. It’s an added burden you don’t necessarily want to have to manage while recovering from an injury or managing a chronic illness. The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) is in place to protect you, so understanding the full extent of your benefits is essential, making legal guidance a critical part of your plan. Be aware that you have the right to choose your initial treating physician. If you can’t work, you’re also eligible to receive wage loss compensation, which can include a schedule award for permanent impairments.
