Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers
Many Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine employees risk their health and wellbeing at work every day. When those risks result in injuries, it is important for workers to understand their rights regarding workers' compensation. Workers' comp is a unique and complex area of the law. It is important to turn to an experienced lawyer to help you get the payment you deserve.
From my office in Haverhill, I help injured workers who have been denied the coverage they need. Contact me to schedule a free consultation. I will listen to you and explain how the law applies to your situation.
After Suffering a Workplace Injury
Most of us spend the majority of our waking hours at work. Whatever your job is — whether you are an executive, factory worker, truck driver, nurse or other professional — your employer should acknowledge your right to compensation when you are hurt on the job. And their insurance company should give you the payment you need to cover medical expenses and lost wages.
If you suffered an injury on the job, you should contact an attorney if:
- You have been denied coverage because you were not able to prove that you are injured or suffered the injury on the job.
- Your employer or their workers' compensation insurance company does not pay all of the compensation you are entitled to.
- You are not receiving compensation for medical treatment, including psychological treatment and physical therapy.
- You have been offered a workers' compensation settlement but you are not sure if you should accept it.
Whatever your reason for seeking legal counsel regarding workers' compensation, I will take the time to talk with you about your situation and give you an honest evaluation of your case. During this free consultation, I will explain the workers' comp laws in terms that you can understand.
