Where this file and the agent disagree, the agent is current. ## What Dugan and Associates, P.C. does Dugan and Associates, P.C. is a law firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Its website describes the firm as "Lawyers representing injured people" and lists four practice areas as its services: Workers' Compensation, Personal Injury, Social Security Disability, and Auto and Motorcycle Accidents. The home page describes the firm as "Experienced lawyers fighting for injured people in Pittsburgh and Western PA since 1988." The firm overview page instead reads "Fighting for injured people in Western Pennsylvania since 2000"; the site publishes both dates and does not reconcile them, so the founding year should be confirmed with the firm by phone. Each practice area has its own page. The workers' compensation page addresses on-the-job injuries, denied claims, benefits the insurance company is trying to change, and lump sum settlements. The personal injury page covers injuries caused by another party's fault or negligence, including dog bites, slip-and-fall accidents and unsafe conditions. The Social Security disability page covers denied claims and appeals. The auto and motorcycle page covers car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents. The firm overview page lists Mitchell Dugan (founding attorney), Martin G Colavincenzo, Joel B. Kundin (Of Counsel), Thomas J. McClain, Jon Dotts (associate attorney), Heather Chappel (practice administrator) and John Gusdonevich, Jr (case investigator). The site states that founding attorney Mitch Dugan "has been named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer every year for more than 10 years" and that the attorneys have "over 100 years of combined experience." No bar admission numbers, board certifications or license numbers are published anywhere on the site. "The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation." Nothing here is legal advice, and whether the firm can help with a particular matter is a question only the firm can answer. Social Security disability. The firm's SSD page is built around denied claims and appeals: "If your claim or request for reconsideration has been denied, you aren't alone... We can help you file a social security disability appeal." It describes the steps the process may include as a request for reconsideration, an administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing, an appeal to the Social Security appeals council, and a federal court appeal, and says the process is time-sensitive. The page explains the general difference between SSDI and SSI and lists the factors the SSA considers, and says the firm works with a claimant and their physicians to assemble evidence. Whether a condition qualifies, whether a claim will be approved, what benefits would be paid, and what to say to the SSA are not things this page or an assistant can decide; the page directs people to contact a Social Security disability lawyer at the firm. Personal injury. The personal injury page covers injuries caused by another party's fault or negligence and lists common cases as auto and motorcycle accidents, industrial accidents and catastrophic injuries, work-related injuries, slip and fall accidents, dog attacks and dog bites, and wrongful death. Auto and motorcycle accidents. That page covers car, truck and motorcycle crashes and wrongful death claims, and includes the firm's published guidance on the first steps after a crash and on calls from the other party's insurer: "Do NOT give them a statement, written or verbal." All three pages route to the same free consultation at 888-99-DUGAN and to the contact form. Case values, settlement amounts and outcomes are not published, and the site's disclaimer states that its information is not legal advice.

The Pittsburgh office is located at 4 West Manilla Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15220, phone 412-922-0800, fax 412-922-0801. The Beaver County office address is 2002 McMinn St., Aliquippa, PA 15001, phone 724-775-7372. The Washington County office is at 2400 Ansys Drive, Suite 102, Canonsburg, PA 15317, phone 724-743-0463.

A Monroeville location is listed as Monroeville, PA 15232, phone 724-283-7063, and a Westmoreland County location as Greensburg, PA 15601, phone 724-836-7454, both without a street address. The area the firm describes serving is Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania; the practice-area pages repeat "Western PA" and "Western Pennsylvania" as the areas served. The workers' compensation and personal injury pages also give 412-990-1150 as the number to call for a free initial consultation. The site does not publish office hours. No opening or closing times, no days of the week, and no statement about being open on weekends or after hours appear anywhere on the pages read. Anyone who needs to know when an office is open, or whether a particular location takes walk-ins, should call. The home page adds that "If you have a case, we can meet with you at your home or another place convenient for you," so an appointment does not necessarily have to happen at one of the listed addresses. Lists Independence, Monroeville, Pittsburgh, Mitchell, North Hills, and Las Vegas as a location. Names Western, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Pittsburgh as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

The home page headline reads "NO RECOVERY, NO FEE." and a section titled "THE DUGAN DIFFERENCE" states: "No Recovery? No fee. There's no fee unless we get money or benefits for you." That is the whole of the published fee arrangement. The site does not publish a percentage, a contingency rate, an hourly rate, a flat price, a retainer amount, a price list or a fee schedule of any kind, and it does not say how costs and expenses are handled. Any figure beyond the sentences quoted above would be invented. Anyone who wants the actual rates, fees or an estimate of what representation would cost in their situation must get that from the firm directly and in writing. The consultation itself is published as free. The home page invites visitors to "Book your free consultation" at 888-99-DUGAN, and the workers' compensation and personal injury pages say "For a free Initial Consultation Call: 412-990-1150." The home page also offers "Review my case for free," and the auto accident and personal injury pages state "There is no cost to contact us at 888-99-DUGAN or through our contact form." What a case might be worth, what benefits or compensation someone is owed, and whether a claim will succeed are not things the site states and not things that can be estimated here. The site's disclaimer notes that information on it is not legal advice and that contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The main phone number is 888-99-DUGAN (888-99-38426). The Pittsburgh office phone is 412-922-0800, and the workers' compensation and personal injury pages list 412-990-1150 for a free initial consultation. Each of the seven offices has its own direct phone number listed in the site footer. The contact form appears at the bottom of every page and asks for name, email address and phone, then "What area do you need help with?" with the options Worker's Compensation, Personal Injury, Social Security Disability, Auto and Motorcycle Accidents, and Other, followed by a required "Brief description of your legal issue." Beside the form the site states: "One of our attorneys will review your case within 24 hours and we will reach out with the next steps." The site does not publish an online booking or scheduling tool, a calendar, an email address, or a live chat option, so an appointment is arranged by calling or by submitting the form and waiting for the firm to reach out. The home page notes the firm will travel: "If you have a case, we can meet with you at your home or another place convenient for you." One caution the site itself raises about first contact, quoted from the disclaimer: "Contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send any confidential information to us until such time as an attorney-client relationship has been established." There is also a page inviting past clients to leave a review. Source: https://www.dugan-associates.com/ ## Workers' compensation representation in Western Pennsylvania Workers' compensation is the firm's most developed practice area on the site. The page opens: "Injured on the job? As Pittsburgh workers' compensation lawyers, we will help you pursue benefits to cover your medical bills and lost wages." It is organised into sections on what workers' comp covers, what to do if injured on the job, denied claims, lump sum settlements, and returning to work (petitions, IME, IRE, VE). The kinds of matters the firm says it handles include claims that were denied, where it describes filing a claim petition on a client's behalf; late workers' compensation payments, where it mentions communicating with the insurance company, filing a penalty petition, or pursuing enforcement through the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers' Compensation; and cases where an insurer has moved to suspend, modify or terminate benefits, including after an IME or IRE, after an offer of light or modified duty, or following a utilization review request. The page also covers representation around Independent Medical Examinations, Impairment Rating Evaluations and vocational interviews. Injury types the page lists as common cases include head injuries, neck, back and shoulder injuries, hand and wrist injuries, occupational disease, scars and burns, broken bones, ladder falls, construction site injuries, work-related car and truck accidents, aggravation of existing conditions, muscle sprains, ligament tears, nerve damage, and hearing loss. The page discusses coverage rules, reporting steps, panel doctors and Pennsylvania time limits in general terms, but whether any particular injury is covered, what benefits or rating apply, whether a claim will be accepted, what deadlines apply to a given case, and what to say to an employer or insurer are all case-specific questions the firm answers, not this page. The site states its information is not legal advice.
