Employee Rights – Facts about Workers’ Compensation

The state of Massachusetts requires all employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. Workers’ compensation can reimburse employees for:

• lost wages
• medical expenses
• mileage reimbursement from going to and from the doctor
• scarring and disfigurement
• vocational training

Massachusetts has its own agency (called the Department of Industrial Accidents), procedures, and judges that hear these cases. First, the case goes to conciliation conference in front of someone other than a judge. Cases are rarely settled at this stage. If benefits are denied, the case is appealed and goes to a hearing, which is a trial where all the rules of a trial apply.

Even at a hearing, the Department of Industrial Accidents does not require hearing judges to be lawyers. They are often unfamiliar with the law. If you face a workers’ compensation hearing, having an experienced, knowledgeable attorney can make the difference between getting the benefits you need and coming away empty-handed.

If you file a workers’ comp claim, you usually cannot sue your employer for pain and suffering. When you file a workers’ comp claim, you are not suing your employer. You are applying for benefits that may be yours by right.
