Do You Qualify for a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
You may qualify to file a claim with Massachusetts’s workers’ compensation system if you sustained an injury while working. The workers’ comp system does not require you to prove that your employer caused your injury through negligence to get damages.
Some employers do not have to carry workers’ comp benefits. We can review your situation and determine if you can file a claim.
Our team can also look at other options to bring you compensation for your expenses. For example, we may help you file a third-party personal injury lawsuit if someone other than your employer caused your accident.
What Compensation do You Get for a Workplace Accident?
Whether you were injured working at the Cape Cod Mall, one of the retail stores on Main Street in Hyannis, or putting up a roof on new construction in Osterville, workers hurt on the job in Cape Cod may get funds for their:
Healthcare Costs
Workers’ comp may cover any medical procedures you need to recover, including emergency treatment. You may also get funds for your prescription medications, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
Lost Pay
The workers’ comp system may cover a percentage of your lost pay through disability benefits. You may receive additional compensation if your injury prevents you from returning to your job even after you recover.
Scarring and Disfigurement
Workers’ comp will sometimes provide employees with a one-time financial payment for damage to their hands, neck, or face. Your Cape Cod workers’ compensation lawyer can discuss this compensation with you.
Your attorney may seek additional compensation through a lawsuit if you qualify for this legal action.
Can You File a Workers’ Compensation Claim After a Deadly Accident?
Some workplace accidents can have deadly results. In this situation, you can turn to a wrongful death lawyer from our team to help your family secure damages to help with the financial pressures you face.
You may receive funds to help with your loved one’s burial or funeral costs. We’ll compassionately assist you after a deadly accident in Cape Cod.

How Long do You Have to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
You must file your workers’ comp claim before the statute of limitations expires. Generally, you have four years to file a workers’ comp claim. However, we recommend moving quickly after your accident.
If you wait a significant time to file a claim, the workers’ comp system may believe that your injuries came from a different accident. They may try to deny your compensation. Waiting also makes it more challenging to collect evidence to support your claim.
What Should You Do After a Jobsite Accident?
Make sure you notify your employer immediately after an on-the-job accident. You should request a copy of the accident report for your records. The report provides proof about when and how your injury occurred.
You should also visit a medical professional for treatment and reach out to a lawyer for help filing a workers’ compensation claim.
