Injured worker experts will fight for your rights. FREE CONSULT. English/Spanish
Since 1987, I have been dedicated to serving disabled workers as a Workers Compensation attorney. My commitment to the community drives me to ensure that my clients are well-informed about their rights, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the WC system effectively.
I understand the importance of connecting with competent doctors, as this is crucial for achieving favorable outcomes in WC cases.
My firm has earned respect from judges and defense offices alike. More importantly, my clients have expressed high satisfaction with the outcomes of their cases.
The court determines our fees, which are typically 15% of the recovery amount, making it contingent on the settlement size.
I offer free consultations, and my staff is bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish.

- Q. Workers comp. Doctor & Hospital missed hip fracture. This caused me to have hip replacement. What legal recourse?
- A: Dear injured worker,
Your situation is very unfortunate and not uncommon to have misdiagnosis within the Workers’ Compensation system. Beyond the regular Workers’ Compensation benefits of medical care, temporary disability and permanent disability, you may have an action against the physician or clinic that misdiagnosed your condition. You have strict time limits and I highly recommend you waste no time in getting to an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice for a legal consultation and explanation of your rights and responsibilities in protecting your claim.
Sincerely,
Dennis A Dascanio

- Q. My workers comp lawyer has advised me to take 38,000 settlement w/ no future medical. But I need hardware removed.
- A: Dear Injured Worker,
It is difficult to evaluate the value of a claim without the opportunity to review the medical records. However, the fact that you still have screws in your ankle would indicate that your claim has a higher value than $38,500. It is not unusual to seek a second opinion on a claim without a commitment to change attorneys.
My recommendation is that you seek a second consultation as this case seems to be undervalued.
- Q. Can I get compensation for working in a borax mine and ultimately being diagnosed with lung fibrosis?
- A: Dear Borax miner,
Lung fibrosis, also known as cystic fibrosis, is potentially related to the occupation of borax mining. You should immediately file a claim for Worker’s Compensation benefits in the state you work in. There may be federal remedies as well. I suggest you consult with an attorney for a full analysis of your claim.
Sincerely,
Dennis A Dascanio
