Are you a worker struggling with a workplace injury? Have you been denied workers’ compensation benefits and don’t know where to turn? You’re not alone. Finding the right attorney can make all the difference, and that’s where a Peabody personal injury lawyer can help.
Navigating the workers’ compensation process can be overwhelming and confusing. From filling out paperwork to dealing with insurance companies, it’s easy to feel like you’re in over your head.
Whether you are just starting the process or have had your claim denied, a Peabody personal injury lawyer with Jason Stone Injury Lawyers can be your advocate and fight for the benefits you deserve.
Understanding Your Rights Under Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Law
If you’re injured at work in Massachusetts, it’s important to understand what benefits you can get. The state’s workers’ comp laws were made to provide wage replacement and medical care for eligible workers who are hurt without them having to prove who was at fault.
Our attorneys know that going through this process alone may cause some benefits to be missed. We fully understand the ins and outs of the law. We’ll make sure that for any valid claim, you have used all the available options to get the maximum coverage possible.
That includes pay for time off work, help getting new job training, and compensation for long-term impacts – if those apply to your situation.
How Our Attorneys Can Help
Our lawyers will carefully look at all the details of what happened and any proof to make sure you get all the help the law says you deserve. Sometimes, people miss out on benefits if they don’t have legal counsel.
Fighting Denied Claims
If the insurance company says no to your claim without a good reason, we’ll strongly push them to reconsider and approve it. Many real claims are turned down at first. Even solid claims have issues to deal with.
When insurance companies say no to responsibility, pay less than required, or take too long to okay needed medical care, we step in. Whether it’s a conciliation, conference, or a hearing before a judge, we know all the choices and choose the best plan for each situation.
Our lawyers have experience dealing with insurers, the attorneys that represent them, and arguing cases, so they know how to get problems fixed and the results clients need.
Getting You the Best Settlement
We’ll negotiate directly with the insurer to get the highest possible payment covering lost pay, medical bills, and long-term effects. Our workers’ comp attorneys in Peabody are skilled negotiators.
Using our extensive experience arguing similar cases and deep understanding of how insurers evaluate claims, we develop aggressive yet realistic settlement strategies. We research previously decided cases involving comparable injuries to determine appropriate compensation ranges and justify our demands. And if the case can’t get resolved to your satisfaction, we are always prepared to go to a hearing.
The Legal Process
If the insurance company still refuses a full and fair result, we can take your case through hearings or appeals. The legal process can incentivize insurers to resolve matters adequately.
Accessing Retraining and Jobs
Our lawyers can help evaluate options for vocational assistance or programs that could support training for different work if your injury limits future jobs.
Ensuring Ongoing Medical Care
We fight to make certain any needed ongoing treatments continue to be authorized and covered over the life of the claim and even for many years into the future, if you qualify.
Disability Payments
We’ll advocate for proper compensation if you have permanent effects based on impairment reviews and ratings in your situation.
The goal is to get all the benefits allowed by law tailored for your specific claim. Our experienced workmen’s compensation attorneys in Peabody are experienced in handling these complex situations.
Our past success proves that not giving up or backing down, even when insurers twist the rules, gets people what they deserve for being hurt at work in the end. Standing up for rights is what leads to fair outcomes.
