Frequently Asked Questions
In Massachusetts, your employer has the right to choose a doctor for your initial evaluation. However, the decision of who treats your injury or illness is up to you. As long as your medical treatment is fair, reasonable, and medically necessary, you have the right to choose your doctor and still be reimbursed for your medical expenses.
While a lawyer isn't necessary to receive workers’ compensation benefits, it can be incredibly beneficial. In some cases, insurance companies refuse to pay injured employees the benefits they deserve. If you have suffered a work-related illness or injury and are having trouble obtaining benefits, our attorneys are here to help. Our Massachusetts workers’ comp lawyers will provide guidance as they work with you to seek the benefits you deserve, helping you gather evidence to support your claim and ensuring all documents are filed correctly and on time.
Report your accident to your employer and then seek immediate medical attention. Even if you believe your injuries are minor, it is important to receive a medical examination to protect your health and your rights. Postponing a medical evaluation will give your employer’s insurance company cause to believe that your injuries were not a direct result of a work-related accident, jeopardizing your right to benefits.
The timeline in a workers' compensation claim is very important. You should inform your employer of your accident as soon as possible. If you’re unable to earn full wages for five or more days due to an occupational injury or illness, your employer is responsible for reporting your condition to its insurance company and the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) within seven days of the injury, starting your workers’ comp claim.
According to Massachusetts law, your employer’s insurance company has 14 days from the time they receive the first report of injury to either pay you or notify you that your claim has been denied.
If the insurance company denies your claim, you have four years from the date of denial to file an appeal. In order to appeal a denied claim, you must complete and submit an Employee Claim Form (Form 110) with the DIA. Additionally, you will need to include all medical evidence and other relevant information to help prove your claim.
While you have the right to appeal to any decision that’s made regarding your claim, we highly recommend consulting an attorney before doing so. A knowledgeable workers’ comp lawyer can help you gather the necessary medical evidence and ensure that your form is correctly filled out to support your claim.
After you’ve filed your claim, the first step of the appeals process is known as a conciliation. During this stage, you and your employer’s insurance company will have an informal meeting where you will attempt to reach a settlement agreement. A conciliator from the DIA will also be present to help facilitate the meeting and encourage a resolution. Having an attorney present during every stage of the appeals process will be to your advantage, as they can help you build the strongest case possible and present the evidence on your behalf.
In Massachusetts, workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. This means you do not have to prove that your accident happened because your employer or another employee was acting negligently in order to receive benefits. Even if you were responsible for your workplace accident, you may still be entitled to benefits. If someone else was responsible for your accident, you may be able to pursue further compensation through a personal injury claim.
