If you have been injured on the job in the State of Massachusetts, you’ll probably ask yourself, “Why should I hire an attorney? Aren’t I guaranteed workers’ compensation anyways?” Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Often, an employer’s insurance provider will dispute or deny a workers’ compensation claim. Contact our office today to receive the full benefits you are entitled to.

Why Should I Hire an Attorney? | Moving Forward with a Claim

The first thing to do when injured at the job site is to seek immediate medical attention. Afterwards, you will want to inform your employer of the injury. Be sure to provide as much information as possible, making sure to note time and place of the accident, extent of the injury, and how exactly the accident occurred.

It is best to submit this notice in writing in order to kickstart the claims process, although verbal notification is also acceptable. Employers and insurance agencies are often skeptical of postponed or delayed claims, so it is important to turn in this information as quickly as possible. Insurance companies must approve or deny your compensation claim within 14 days of receiving injury notice. Providing accurate information to your doctor is extremely important — not only is it vital for corroboration in the event your claim is denied, but it also aids in a quicker recovery.

Why Should I Hire an Attorney? | Appealing a Denied Claim

Under Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Law, all employers are required to display the name and contact information of their workers’ compensation insurance provider. However, processing a claim and receiving the appropriate benefits is not as easy as it sounds. Claims can be denied for almost any reason, and it is often the simplest mistakes that are the easiest to avoid.
