NEW YORK - Feb. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Imbesi Law P.C. attorneys successfully represented a former employee of the Depertment of Commerce at an in-person hearing on November 24, 2014.  The decision, which was rendered on February 3, 2015, set forth:

Based upon the hearing testimony, together with the written evidence of record, I find that the Office's decision of July 24, 2014 should be modified and affirmed .
...A claimant seeking compensation under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) has the burden of establishing the essential elements of her claim by the weight of the reliable, probative and substantial evidence, including that any specific condition or disability for work which she claims compensation is causally related to an employment injury.

The claimant must present rationalized medical opinion evidence showing causalvrelatienship. The medical opinion must be based on a complete factual and medical background with an accurate history of the claimant's employment injury and must explain from a medical perspective how the current condition is related to the injury.

In deciding for the firm's client the hearing judge conluded that "...Consequently the claim should be accepted."
