🔥 Protect the Injured — Hold the Guilty Accountable
Government case officers, insurers, and managers who deliberately delay, deny, or manipulate injured workers' claims must be held criminally accountable — not just administratively.
🚫 No more red tape. No more immunity. No more games.
Today, I present the Injured Workers Protection Act (IWPA) 2025, a binding Commonwealth law designed to protect workers, punish abusers, and permanently reform a broken system.

📢 Why I'm Speaking Out
My name is Darragh Hogan — founder of HOGANinc25, survivor of industrial injury, and legal advocate for injured workers.
I was crushed by a 13-ton excavator and then crushed again by a system designed to break those who dare to stand up.
I’ve spent nearly 7 years in a war against corruption, fraud, and systemic cruelty. I paid over $500,000 out-of-pocket to survive and rebuild my life.
Now, with 689,000+ views across YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram,
and 12 eBooks published live on Amazon KDP,
I am taking this fight global — not as a victim, but as a force of justice.
I am now backed by:
Levitt Robinson Solicitors – overseeing all legal actions and compensation matters
Anne O’Donoghue Immigration Solutions – handling federal immigration violations tied to this case
🛑 This isn’t just my story — this is a movement.
