Is It Worth Getting a DC Workers’ Comp Lawyer?

Yes, an experienced DC workers’ compensation attorney can make a big difference after a serious injury at work. The DC workers’ comp system is confusing, and most people have no idea what they’re supposed to do after getting hurt on the job.

That’s why we make the process as easy as possible. You don’t have to figure out the paperwork, deadlines, insurance company, and next steps on your own.

You worked hard before your injury. Now you’re hurt and may not be able to work. You shouldn’t have to fight the insurance company at the same time.

Call 202-393-3320. Our team will explain what happens next and handle the insurance company for you.

Why You Need a DC Workers’ Comp Lawyer

The insurance company will not tell you about every benefit you may be entitled to. Claims can be delayed, denied, or underpaid.

An experienced lawyer like Frank Kearney, can protect your benefits and make sure important deadlines and paperwork are handled correctly.

How Much Does a Workers’ Compensation Attorney Cost?

You don’t 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.

You File a Claim, You Don’t Sue Your Employer

When you get hurt at work in DC, you file a workers’ compensation claim for benefits such as lost wages and medical treatment. You generally do not sue your employer for the work injury.

Be careful if an attorney tells you otherwise. DC workers’ compensation has its own rules, deadlines, and procedures.

We Deal With the Insurance Company

Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company handles the claim. Our team deals with the insurance adjusters, nurses, case managers, and lawyers so you don’t have to handle it alone.

You still need to keep your employer updated about your work status, but you do not need to manage the workers’ comp case by yourself.

If Someone Else Caused Your Injury, You May Have Another Case

Sometimes someone other than your employer causes an injury at work.

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’ compensation claim and a separate personal injury case.

Having a lawyer who understands both can help make sure the cases are handled correctly.
