Form CA-1: Traumatic Injury Claim

Federal Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of Pay/Compensation

If the condition happened in the course of one work shift, the condition is an injury.  Examples:  cut finger; tripped and fell; hit by forklift, etc.  Sometimes the reported condition may not seem like an injury, such as mental stress or back strain.  However, if you identify the condition as occurring in the course of one work shift, the condition is still considered to be a traumatic injury.
