Know Your Rights Regarding On-the-Job Injuries
The workers' compensation process can be extremely complex to navigate, and many people would prefer not to deal with their employer's insurance company at all. At the law firm of Pulgini & Norton, LLP, we frequently have clients ask us "Can I Sue My Employer?" rather than going through workers' compensation.
In the vast majority of cases, the answer is "No." In the rare instance where an employer does not have workers' compensation insurance, you may be able to sue the company directly. Otherwise, workers' compensation is the only recourse for an injured worker. We understand how overwhelming this process can be. Our attorneys have extensive experience with these matters, and you can rely on us to be there with you at every step.
Providing Complete Services for Injured Workers
One of the most notable employee concerns with the workers' compensation process is the possibility of being denied benefits. While this can be extremely upsetting to the employee, it is not uncommon. In fact, approximately half of all initial claims are denied by the insurance company. Massachusetts law provides a four-stage dispute process that allows you to seek the justice you deserve. Our lawyers can represent you at every stage and appeal the decision further if needed.
We also represent clients in third-party liability claims. If you were injured on the job and someone other than your employer or a co-worker contributed to the cause of the accident, you may have grounds for a separate personal injury claim. We have handled third-party claims involving workplace equipment malfunctions, work-related car accidents and many others.
