Introduction – Tracy Paulsen from Rightful Legal
Good afternoon, Tracy Paulsen of Rightful Legal, a Massachusetts-based personal injury and workplace accident firm. If you’ve been injured on the job, you might be entitled to compensation, but getting that compensation that you deserve is not always that simple.
Workers’ Compensation in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, workers’ compensation can provide for medical bills, lost wages, or disability benefits regardless of who’s at fault. If you’ve been injured on the job, it’s really important that you notify your employer immediately, and then your employer will file a claim with their insurance company.
Denied Claims & Appeals
If your claim is denied or your benefits are delayed, you might have the right to an appeal.
Third-Party Negligence
If you have been injured by the negligence of a third party such as a contractor, an equipment manufacturer, or a reckless driver, you might be entitled to compensation above and beyond your workers’ compensation benefits.
