DC Construction Worker Secures Significant Workers’ Compensation Settlement After Multiple Surgeries
A dedicated commercial carpenter suffered a severe work injury on a construction site in Washington, D.C., leading to several extensive back surgeries. This life-changing injury left him unable to continue working in the heavy-duty construction industry—the only field he had known since he was 16 years old.
In workers’ compensation, this is classified as a permanent injury, meaning any settlement must consider future lost wages. To evaluate this, we arranged for the worker to be examined by a trusted doctor to obtain an impairment rating. This critical step allowed us to present solid evidence to the insurance company to support the claim.
However, as is common in serious workers’ compensation cases, the insurance company pushed back. They challenged the extent of his injuries, even going as far as following him and attempting to capture video footage to dispute his condition. Despite documented medical evidence and multiple necessary surgeries, the insurance company tried to minimize their payout.
Our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers at Donahoe Kearney stood firm. We fought hard through complicated and prolonged settlement negotiations to secure a significant settlement for our client. This settlement ensures he has the financial support needed to focus on his recovery and move forward with his life.
