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.

The Law Offices of Dennis A. Dascanio Firm Overview
- Q. Issues with workers' comp attorney rescheduling trial and unclear case status.
- A: Dear frustrated applicant,
Your situation is not unusual if you don’t have an open line of communication with your attorney. Your situation is also not unusual in workers compensation court hearings. That is that hearing’s often get rescheduled, postponed are delayed. Unfortunately it’s the nature of the system, but that does not mean you do not deserve a clear explanation. My recommendation is that you request an appointment to speak directly with your attorney. It’s likely that he is busy and it may take time but you do have the right. You also have the right to be part of all hearings. They are mostly done by video conferencing but you are allowed to listen.
Sincerely,

- Q. Coworker collision worsened my scoliosis. Should I consult company doctor & do I have a case?
- A: Dear injured employee,
I’m sorry to hear about your injury at work. I recommend that you immediately report it in writing by text or email to HR or manager that you injured your back. You do not need to get into the details. This will protect your rights and allow you to seek a legal compensation at a later date. As this is a serious aggravation of your pre-existing condition I suggest you immediately contact an attorney for a full consultation.
Sincerely,
Dennis Dascanio
- Q. Will indemnification in C&R cover all expenses after MSA exhausts without litigation?
- A: Dear injured worker,
No, indemnification in a C&R does not guarantee all expenses after MSA exhaustion without litigation.
Even with “hold harmless” language, the carrier could still dispute future treatment costs (like surgery), and you might have to litigate to enforce the indemnification. Medicare only pays if you strictly follow MSA rules, and private insurance may refuse to cover work-related care post-settlement.
I highly recommend that you consult with a work comp attorney before accepting the C&R.
Sincerely,
Dennis Dascanio
