When Workers' Comp Is Not Enough
In our experience, workers' compensation benefits typically fall short of covering all of your financial losses. For example, the weekly disability benefits you may received from workers' compensation in Massachusetts are only a percentage of your average weekly wage. However, if your accident on the job was caused by a negligent third-party, you would be able to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit to hold the responsible third-party accountable. In a third-party personal injury case, you would claim and seek one hundred percent of your lost wages and more.
That is why it is always recommended that anyone injured on the job have their case and accident evaluated by a Massachusetts attorney experienced and knowlegable in workers' compensation claims and personal injury cases. This is exactly what Joe and Chuck specialize in at Mahaney & Pappas.
A work accident isn't something most think about often until it happens to them. This is why injured workers typically have many questions and concerns after being seriously injured on the job. If you were hurt at work, you should have a good understanding of the workers’ compensation process and benefits available in Massachusetts. The experienced workers’ compensation lawyers at Mahaney & Pappas, LLP, are here to help you during this difficult time.
