Darnell Pettaway
Associate
The first forms decide more than people think. I'd rather get them right than fix them later.
I handle new claims and treatment approvals, and I'm often the first lawyer a client meets. I worked on the line at an auto parts plant before law school, so I know the jobs our clients do.
I meet clients by video as often as in person while they're recovering.

How Darnell starts a claim
In the first week I check three things: that the injury report names the right body part, that the first doctor's note connects it to the work, and that the wage records are complete.
When a treatment request is refused, I go back to the doctor for a written reason and appeal the same week.
