Compensation for Neck Injuries on the Job

Some of the most common workers’ compensation injuries happen to the neck and back. These injuries can be relatively minor or they can be serious enough to negatively impact your entire life. Luckily, Massachusetts requires all employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you are experiencing chronic pain, you may be eligible to receive compensation for neck injuries you have sustained due to your job.
