Ms. Hamilton's child was born prematurely due to a doctor's miscalculation of how far long she was. I wanted to know if she had any advice for mothers. Her directives were simple. “Don’t give up. Your baby didn’t ask to be here, and you owe it to your child to do everything that you can to advocate for them and make sure their needs are met. Just don’t give up—it’s a difficult process, and it’s not a short or easy road. But keep moving forward. That’s all. There is so much that Jeremiah wasn’t supposed to be able to do. And look at him now – he is a normal thirteen-year old boy. He loves science and math, and he likes to dance. He spends time with his older brother and I don’t allow him to get into trouble. And I’m going to do right by my child, just like I’ve done right by my other children. Nothing halfway for my kids.” Isn’t that exactly as it should be?

This awesome lady had worked her whole life, and would still be working, if she hadn't tripped over power cords that weren't properly secured in a parking garage.  That fall onto the concrete caused a fractured pelvis, requiring a long hospitalization and time at a rehab facility trying to heal. With English as her second language, her future employment following the physical limitations she now has is uncertain - she definitely can't go back to the job she had. This comes directly from the son of our client, who was with her every step of the way to help her recover from her injuries and to make sure she understood everything throughout the case given her language skills - we couldn't be more proud of the work we did for his mom and family, and we couldn't be more happy for them in their settlement! "Mr. Kearney and his administrative staff were great! Frank took the time to meet with us throughout the life of our case. He was extremely patient and thorough explaining the different phases of the suit. He was able to negotiate a good settlement for us. I would recommend him to anyone who has been in an accident."

We got the low-down from Mr. Hayes today as his case comes to a close, he says that the year is looking brighter! What type of case did you have? I had a worker’s compensation claim. It was the result of an injury that I had sustained while breaking up a fight at a high school where I worked. I was temporarily terminated by employer, but when I asked Mr. Kearney and his team to intercede, I was given a new position to accommodate my restrictive medical needs. What was your job, and how did having a workers’ comp claim affect your job? Before the injury, I was a Dean of Students at a high school. Due the injury, I was unable to remain in that capacity, and so the organization moved to a new school in a new role. How did Donahoe Kearney help you? Mr. Kearney helped me by first getting my worker’s compensation benefits that the insurance had denied. Between the date I was terminated and the date that I was offered a new position, I did not receive worker’s compensation benefits. This meant that for nearly two months, I did not receive any income. The insurance company supported the position of my employer and my benefits were denied because the employer said that I had rejected another position offer. After some time, I participated in a deposition. And about three weeks later, I received benefits and was able to pay my bills. Secondly, Mr. Kearney helped me by working my case in speedy manner. The new job and place have taken a toll on me emotionally and mentally. My stress level and incidents of depression have increased. And so, when I received a call from Mr. Kearney as a “check-in”, I told and explained to him that I was not happy with my current position and I was looking for other options. He helped me by speeding up the disposition of my case and worked to get me a settlement. Because I was ready to leave the job, I was satisfied with the first offer. But he pushed, and we got more -  I’m glad I trusted him. What are you doing now, and how is your settlement helping with that? The settlement is helping me to get my life in order. I’m able to pay down debt, take a much-needed vacation, and focus on the issues that are important to me. A year ago, I never would have imagined that I’d be where I am today. But thanks, to Mr. Kearney and his team, this year is brighter!

As a client I do find the material good reading especially at odd  times.  Sometimes, I do have questions and your newsletters are good resource material for me and I do forward to friends.   I will say I have grown from the constant flow of information and I'm more at ease with this process and not feeling like a victim but more a situation that's being dealt with at a much higher  level than I thought it required.   Of course, early on I was a wreck and now I'm more knowledgeable a vast difference so I'm grateful.   So. I thank your guys very much.

 Once you get hurt, you learn quickly that the clubs have a lot of people looking out for them – trainers, doctors, lawyers. And you don’t. The reality is, most of us will have serious injuries during our careers. I had two – in 2004 and 2007, with different teams and in different states. By then, I was a veteran player, so I asked a lot of questions. I filed for workers’ compensation for both injuries and my experiences were totally  different. After I hired D.C. lawyer Frank Kearney, it was like going from the “outhouse” to the “penthouse.” read the full review here.
