On the job injuries can occur within numerous industry and business settings. In the services industry, lifting injuries are common. In office settings, workers can be hurt by tripping over a phone wire or through occupational diseases, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Construction accidents can happen through any number of means; truck and delivery drivers often experience work injuries after being involved in auto accidents.
Process for Workers' Compensation Disputes
If you are currently being paid by your insurance company for a work-related injury, it is important to have an attorney in the background. There may come a time when your insurance companies will try to stop payment before you have fully recovered. If this is the case, our experienced attorney will work with you to have your benefits reinstated, if at all possible. Once we have everything we need, you could be seeing a judge within 2 to 3 months.
Our services do not cost you if we are unsuccessful in obtaining a settlement. The insurance company is responsible for legal fees.
Public Retirement Law
If you are working for a municipality and are injured at work, you may be eligible for benefits from your retirement fund in addition to workers' comp. Contact us at 978-745-8948 to schedule your free initial consultation.
