Here’s How We Handle Your Car Accident Case
How Washington DC Car Accident Lawyer Frank Kearney Handles Your Case
If you’ve been hurt in a car accident in Washington DC, Maryland, or Virginia, the last thing you should worry about is dealing with insurance companies. At Donahoe Kearney, we represent people who have been seriously injured in crashes — guiding them through every step of the process so they can focus on recovery.
We offer a free, confidential consultation to help you avoid mistakes that can hurt your case and to protect you from insurance company tactics.
A car accident can take a major toll physically, financially, and emotionally. Even non-life-threatening injuries often require doctor visits, physical therapy, medications, and tests — all while you may be out of work. Our goal is to make this process easier by handling the legal side so you can heal.
1. We Investigate the Crash
We collect all the information needed to build a strong case:
-
Obtain the police report
-
Talk to witnesses
-
Document vehicle damage
-
Photograph the accident scene
-
Interview you and any passengers
2. We Handle the Insurance Companies
You should never give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Adjusters are trained to find reasons to deny or limit your claim. We communicate with them for you so you can avoid being pressured into saying something that could be used against you.
3. We Understand Your Situation
We know you may be in pain, on medication, and worried about medical bills and lost wages. It can be overwhelming to manage appointments and deal with insurance calls while you’re recovering. We make sure you have the time you need to focus on your health.
4. We Find All Possible Insurance Coverage
Sometimes more than one insurance policy applies. If the driver who hit you was working, their employer’s insurance may be responsible. If they are uninsured or underinsured, we review your underinsured motorist coverage to make sure you receive full compensation.
5. We Guide Your Medical Care and Return to Work
Unlike some law firms, we don’t send every client to the same doctors. You choose your own healthcare providers. We can recommend doctors who have helped our clients in the past, but we want you to feel comfortable with your treatment team.
6. We Evaluate Your Case for Settlement
We review your medical records, lost income, and the impact of your injuries. Settlement can include:
-
Medical expenses
-
Lost wages
-
Permanent injuries
-
Future medical care
-
Pain and suffering
We continuously analyze your case for settlement options and keep you informed — whether we resolve it without a lawsuit or take it to court.
7. We Keep You Updated
We check in regularly and keep you informed about your case. We only take cases for people we genuinely care about and want to help.
Other Benefits You May Have
If your accident happened while you were working, you may also qualify for workers’ compensation. You may also have long-term disability benefits through your employer or your own policy.
