Workers Compensation
We represent injured workers in securing medical benefits and wage replacement for job-related injuries or illnesses. Our attorneys handle all aspects of claims, from initial filings to appeals, ensuring compliance with Massachusetts regulations. We specialize in complex cases involving permanent disabilities, denied claims, and vocational retraining needs.

Our firm assists clients in obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance benefits for work-preventing conditions. We guide clients through the application process, gather medical documentation, and represent clients at hearings to overcome initial denials and secure rightful benefits.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a work-related injury?
Report the injury to your employer promptly and seek medical attention. Contact our firm to ensure proper documentation and protection of your compensation rights.
Can I choose my own doctor for treatment?
While employers may specify initial physicians, you generally have the right to choose your treating doctor after initial evaluations. Our attorneys help navigate these medical provider regulations.
What if my workers' comp claim gets denied?
We'll help you appeal the decision. Our team prepares necessary documentation, gathers medical evidence, and represents you at hearings to challenge unjust denials effectively.
How are disability benefits calculated?
Benefits depend on injury severity and wage loss. Temporary total disability pays 60% of average weekly wages, while permanent disabilities use statutory formulas we can explain during consultation.
Do you handle out-of-state work injuries?
Yes, we represent clients injured in Massachusetts regardless of residence, including Rhode Island and New Hampshire residents working in Massachusetts at the time of injury.
