Driver Gets A Significant Settlement After Foot Injury in D.C.

Being a delivery driver is undoubtedly demanding and filled with its own set of challenges. Unfortunately, we have witnessed numerous instances where dedicated workers like Clifford have suffered severe injuries, affecting their foot, ankle, back, and shoulder while driving trucks and handling packages.

Clifford’s story is a testament to his unwavering dedication to his job. With an impressive 15-year tenure as a delivery driver, he had built a strong work ethic and a genuine commitment to providing for himself and his family. However, fate took an unfortunate turn when an injury left him unable to work, putting his financial security and future at risk.

Feeling helpless and left without the benefits he deserved, Clifford sought assistance from our team at Donahoe Kearney. The situation escalated when the insurance company, in this case, Liberty Mutual, attempted to terminate Clifford’s benefits. That’s when Attorney Frank Kearney stepped in, taking his case to a workers’ compensation hearing.

With tenacity and legal expertise, Frank Kearney fought for Clifford’s rights, ensuring he received what’s rightfully called an “impairment rating.” This crucial number represented the extent of Clifford’s disability, and it came with a lump sum of workers’ compensation benefits attached to it.

The workers’ compensation settlement achieved by Frank Kearney not only provided financial relief for Clifford during his recovery period but also factored in the potential wage loss he might face in the future due to his permanent impairment. This foresight and strategic approach to securing his well-being demonstrate the compassion and dedication of Frank Kearney as an attorney.

When Clifford came in to collect his workers’ compensation check, he couldn’t hide his joy and gratitude. The settlement not only brought him financial security but also a sense of reassurance that he would be taken care of despite the challenges posed by his injury.

At Donahoe Kearney, we understand the struggles faced by hardworking individuals like Clifford, and we are committed to providing unwavering support and expertise to ensure that they receive the workers’ compensation benefits they rightfully deserve. Our team continues to stand strong, advocating for the rights of injured workers and helping them rebuild their lives after an unfortunate accident.
