Doc Ellis: Video Evidence Has No Legal Weight in OWCP Claims

Описание: Can Video Be Used to Deny Your Federal Workers’ Comp Claim? | Doc Ellis Explains the Law

In this episode, Doc Ellis breaks down how video surveillance is often misused in federal workers' compensation cases—and why the courts say that’s not okay.

Despite being a common tool used to challenge injured workers, video evidence has no probative value under federal law when it comes to determining a person's medical condition. Doc Ellis walks you through landmark federal court rulings and Employees' Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB) decisions that explicitly state video footage cannot be used as legitimate medical evidence.

If your claim was denied or questioned because of video surveillance, this is a must-watch. Learn your rights, the legal standards, and how to protect yourself from unfair practices in the OWCP system.
