OVER $100 MILLION IN VERDICTS AND SETTLEMENTS

Boston Work Injury Lawyers

If you have been injured on the job, then a MA Workers’ Compensation Claim can help you recover compensation for medical costs and lost wages. However, in addition to a workers’ compensation claim, you may also be able to file a secondary claim against a third party and receive additional compensation for your injuries.

Workers’ compensation offers some benefits to those who are injured on the job, but it does not cover personal injury in the future and money from workers’ compensation eventually runs out. That is why many clients also consider filing a work injury claim.

For instance, if a worker on a construction site is injured after a steel band snaps unexpectedly, that worker is entitled to wage benefits and could also file a claim against the manufacturing company for a defective product. Additionally, employers are obligated to take all reasonable measures to protect their employees against accidents and injuries. That includes training employees on potential hazards of the job, so that is another area where work injury claims often make sense.

For over 40 years, the Greater Boston Law Firm of Altman & Altman, LLP has been successfully representing clients throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.ÂÂ We have recovered millions of dollars in settlements and jury awards for our clients.ÂÂ Our knowledgeable attorneys have handled claims such as defective products, negligence, chemical spills, on-site explosions, falling objects, inadequate training on machinery, wrongful death, crane accidents, elevator accidents, and other work injury claims. From minor injuries to wrongful death, our lawyers have handled a wide range of work injury cases involving serious injuries such as:

It is important to note that in cases where an injured worker is employed illegally, that worker is still entitled to file a claim against their employer and any liable third parties. The worker’s immigration status does not impact their eligibility for filing a workers’ compensation or work injury claim. Their employer or involved third parties are still responsible for creating a safe work environment and safe products, as well as educating employees on wearing proper safety gear, following appropriate precautions, and otherwise preventing accidents. Our attorneys are sensitive in handling these types of cases, but we fight aggressively to advocate for our clients’ rights.

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is three years; however, it is preferable to contact an attorney as soon as possible after the incident so that they can begin researching the circumstances surrounding the work injury.
