Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary compensation, eliminating the need for litigation; however the advice and counsel of an attorney may be necessary to protect your legal rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

In Massachusetts, workers' compensation imposes strict liability without inquiry into fault. Furthermore, an employer could be penalized where its conduct was an egregious violation of federal or state safety standards, failure to correct known defects or other conduct situations where there is a need to deter such conduct in the future.
