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. Considering workers' compensation for mental health overload as a Learning Trainer in California. No action taken by employer after reporting.
- A: Dear Injured Worker,
Based on the information provided, it appears that your mental stress may be work-related and, given that you have been employed with your current employer for at least six months, you may be eligible for Workers’ Compensation benefits. It is important that you retain any documentation showing that you reported this condition to your employer. Properly filing a Workers’ Compensation claim under these circumstances is essential to protect your rights and ensure access to benefits that might not otherwise be available to you. I wish you all the best moving forward.
Sincerely,
Dennis Dascanio
- Q. Can my wife claim half of my workers' compensation settlement during divorce in California?
- A: Dear injured worker,
I am sorry to hear about your personal situation. The good news is that as a general rule workers compensation benefits are your separate property and not subject to community property distribution in a divorce. I recommend you confirm this with your divorce attorney or you seek consultation with a divorce attorney to be sure that your personal situation is not an exception.
Sincerely,
Dennis Dascanio
- Q. What happens to my open Workmen’s Comp case and compensation if I pass away, and can my son be a substitute claimant or beneficiary in California?
- A: Dear injured worker,
Your son can be a beneficiary of your workers compensation benefits that have accumulated and have not yet been paid out at your death. Typically this applies to permanent disability that has not yet been paid out. Future medical care is not an accumulated benefit and is not subject to participation of a distribution of an estate at death. The exception is out of pocket expenses. Those would need to be tabulated and submitted for reimbursement by the estate after your passing. For that reason I would recommend you keep good records of expenses you have incurred and that have not been reimbursed.
I hope this answers your question.
Sincerely,
Dennis Dascanio
