Where this section sits in the code
- Title 20—Employees' Benefits
- CHAPTER I—OFFICE OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
- SUBCHAPTER B—FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION ACT
- PART 10—CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION ACT, AS AMENDED
- Subpart H—Special Provisions
Since an injury caused by medical malpractice in treating an injury covered by the FECA is also an injury covered under the FECA, any recovery in a suit alleging such an injury is treated as a gross recovery that must be reported to OWCP or SOL.
