D.C. Worker’s Compensation Guide Helping Avoid Common Mistakes

Avoid the Mistakes That Come from Following Misinformation and Trusting the Wrong People.

Washington, DC workers’ compensation lawyer Frank Kearney has written a book entitled “Protect Your Rights: The Injured Worker’s Guide to D.C. Workers’ Compensation.”

So much misinformation gets passed around by insurance companies, employers, and even friends and family, that Kearney was motivated to set the record straight and even give the book away for free. Workers’ compensation involves protecting your rights as an employee.

The insurance companies aren’t going to tell you what forms to file and when to do it. They won’t tell you the benefits to which you could be entitled. They won’t tell you that you can choose your own doctor instead of the one they suggest. They won’t tell you that you don’t have to talk to their nurse case manager, who will want to come to all of your appointments. All of this revealing information can be found in our free book.

We want you to be informed so you can handle the insurance companies. If you think you have a case and would like more information, then please call Donahoe Kearney at 202-393-3320.

Story Of Success

Thanks, Mr. Nawal, but Keep the Kidney!

I owe the people of Donahoe Kearney a kidney. They’re the best and only law firm you should go to for anything related to workers’ compensation law.

As someone who has never navigated the legal system before, I was initially very nervous and apprehensive about the process. Despite it all, Paul remained incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient. I couldn’t have asked for a better paralegal for my case.

They recovered several months of back pay and ensured that the medical treatment for my work injury would be covered. I can’t thank them enough for the peace of mind they’ve provided me, and I wish I could give more than five stars.
