Yes, an experienced DC workers\u2019 compensation attorney can make a big difference after a serious injury at work. The DC workers\u2019 comp system is confusing, and most people have no idea what they\u2019re supposed to do after getting hurt on the job.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we make the process as easy as possible. You don\u2019t have to figure out the paperwork, deadlines, insurance company, and next steps on your own.<\/p>\n
You worked hard before your injury. Now you\u2019re hurt and may not be able to work. You shouldn\u2019t have to fight the insurance company at the same time.<\/p>\n
Call 202-393-3320<\/a>. Our team will explain what happens next and handle the insurance company for you.<\/p>\n The insurance company will not tell you about every benefit you may be entitled to. Claims can be delayed, denied, or underpaid.<\/p>\n An experienced lawyer like Frank Kearney, can protect your benefits and make sure important deadlines and paperwork are handled correctly.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t pay us upfront. At Donahoe Kearney, we work on a contingency fee, which means we only get paid if we win, settle, or resolve your case.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you get hurt at work in DC, you file a workers\u2019 compensation claim for benefits such as lost wages and medical treatment. You generally do not sue your employer for the work injury.<\/p>\n Be careful if an attorney tells you otherwise. DC workers\u2019 compensation has its own rules, deadlines, and procedures.<\/p>\n Read more: Will a Lawyer Sue My Employer if I\u2019m Injured at Work?<\/a><\/p>\n Your employer\u2019s workers\u2019 compensation insurance company handles the claim. Our team deals with the insurance adjusters, nurses, case managers, and lawyers so you don\u2019t have to handle it alone.<\/p>\n You still need to keep your employer updated about your work status, but you do not need to manage the workers\u2019 comp case by yourself.<\/p>\n Sometimes someone other than your employer causes an injury at work.<\/p>\n For example, you could be injured by another driver, a contractor on a construction site, a cleaning company, or a delivery company. In that situation, you may have a workers\u2019 compensation claim and a separate personal injury case.<\/p>\n Having a lawyer who understands both can help make sure the cases are handled correctly.<\/p>\n If you were seriously injured at work, you don\u2019t have to figure out the workers\u2019 compensation system on your own.<\/p>\n Call 202-393-3320<\/a> or book your free consultation<\/a>.<\/p>\n Attorney Frank Kearney has represented injured workers for more than 30 years.
