Because injuries can prevent players from returning to their careers, they need to learn about their rights to workers\u2019 compensation benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you suffered a devastating knee injury, brain injury, or another type of sport-related injury that has affected your ability to make a living playing the game you love, you may be entitled to workers\u2019 comp benefits. These benefits are available to injure professional athletes in the District of Columbia and in many other states. To learn more about your rights under the law, we will send you a free copy of our book, <a href=\"https:\/\/donahoekearney.com\/reports\/the-pro-athletes-ultimate-guide-to-workers-compensation\/\">The Pro Athlete\u2019s Guide to Workers\u2019 Compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To get a copy of our book, fill out a short form on our website or contact us to find out how you can get the benefits you need after your playing days are over.
