This is a legal process that works like a small trial \u2014 with a judge, testimony, evidence, and legal arguments. It\u2019s your chance to fight back and get the benefits you need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"883\">We\u2019ve helped hundreds of injured workers through formal hearings and know how to guide you every step of the way.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"922\">What Happens at a Formal Hearing?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"950\">A formal hearing includes:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1129\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"991\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"991\">Opening statements from both sides<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1043\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1043\">Testimony (you\u2019ll likely be asked to testify)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1078\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1078\">Medical records and evidence<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1105\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1081\" data-end=\"1105\">Witnesses, if needed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1129\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1129\">Closing arguments<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1378\">An administrative law judge will listen to both sides and make a decision.

We prepare you thoroughly so you feel confident and ready.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1295\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/66RKJfAw-IM?si=2Y7BR7UBhspZ26_5\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"1914\">What Is a Deposition and Why Does It Matter?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2004\">If you file for a formal hearing, you\u2019ll likely go through a deposition. That means:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2198\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2081\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2081\">You\u2019ll be asked questions under oath by the insurance company\u2019s attorney<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2125\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2084\" data-end=\"2125\">It happens in an office\u2014not a courtroom<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2198\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2198\">They\u2019ll ask about your accident, medical history, lost wages, and more<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We take depositions seriously and make sure every client is confident, prepared, and ready to tell their story.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"934\">What Happens at a Workers\u2019 Comp Deposition?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1164\">During a deposition, the insurance lawyer may ask about prior injuries, current medical conditions, your diagnosis, lost wages, and your ability to work. They may also go into other parts of your history, depending on your case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1314\">They\u2019re not just gathering facts\u2014they\u2019re looking for ways to limit your benefits. That\u2019s why having a lawyer who prepares you the right way matters.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Prepare You<\/h2>\n<p>We see the deposition as a chance to educate the insurance company about how serious your injury is\u2014and how it\u2019s affected your life and your family. That\u2019s why we take preparation so seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Every client gets our full support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We walk you through every question you might face<\/li>\n<li>We make sure you\u2019re confident, calm, and ready to testify<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019re with you the entire time\u2014not just at the deposition, but throughout your case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In fact, we expect a deposition in nearly every serious injury case we take on. So we start preparing early\u2014before your case is even filed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1358\">If Your Workers&#8217; Comp Claim Is Denied, You Can Appeal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"239\" data-end=\"515\">Many injured workers contact us after their workers\u2019 compensation claim has been denied\u2014whether it\u2019s for surgery, medical treatment, or weekly wage benefits. Most don\u2019t realize the insurance company already has a lawyer working against them from the start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"800\">If you were injured at work in Washington, D.C., the best time to call is right after your accident and after seeing a doctor. But even if you&#8217;re already scheduled for a formal hearing, we may still be able to help you protect your benefits and get the medical care you need.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"2278\" data-end=\"2311\">Don&#8217;t Wait Until It\u2019s Too Late<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2313\" data-end=\"2552\">If you\u2019ve been seriously injured at work in Washington, D.C.\u2014and you need surgery or extended medical care\u2014don\u2019t wait.
