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. Can I hire a pro bono lawyer who is experienced with WC to take over my current misrepresented WC case?
- A: Dear injured worker,
I am sorry that you have encountered difficulties with the attorney you hired. You have two options available to you if you cannot find another attorney to take the case. The first is to contact your local Bar Association and ask for the Lawyer Referral service. Many attorneys on the Lawyer Referral services are well aware of these situations and are there to help. You’re other option is to use the Information and Assistance officer at your local WCAB. He will not advocate for you but will be clear and concise in helping get the matter resolved.
I hope this helps and I wish you the very best holidays.
Sincerely,
Dennis A. Dascanio
- 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.
