How Much Money Could You Get for Workers’ Compensation?

In a workers’ compensation case, our attorneys likely will get you money for medical bills, lost pay, and possibly disability benefits if you can no longer work due to your injuries.

Here’s a closer look at the money you may qualify for.

Medical Bills

Workers’ compensation benefits should cover all medical bills related to the on-the-job injury you sustained, including:

• Emergency care
• Hospital stay
• Medical tests and procedures
• Medications
• Physical or occupational therapy
• Vocational rehabilitation

Lost Pay

In Massachusetts, workers’ compensation usually covers a percentage of your average weekly pay while you’re off work recovering from your injuries.

Disability Benefits

If your injuries were so severe that you’re no longer able to do your job–like if you suffered a spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury (TBI)–you may qualify for partial or total disability benefits.

An experienced Newton workers’ compensation lawyer can let you know how much money you may be owed from workers’ compensation, so schedule a free consultation today.

How Can a Newton Workers’ Compensation Attorney Help You?

Aside from offering you our Stone Cold Guarantee®, how can an attorney from Jason Stone Injury Lawyers help you with your workers’ compensation case?

We’ll investigate the accident, handle legal communication and deadlines, and potentially sue a third party to get you more money for your injuries.

Investigate the Accident

Our experienced legal team will research the facts about your workplace injury by doing things like:

• Interviewing your coworkers or other witnesses
• Getting copies of the accident report
• Searching for surveillance videos of the accident
• Visiting your job site
• Hiring workplace injury experts

Handle Legal Communication and Deadlines

We’ll handle communication between your employer and insurance companies, track relevant deadlines for your workers’ comp claim, and help you file all the applicable paperwork on time.

You take care of yourself while we take care of everything else.

Potentially Sue a Third Party

While Massachusetts law generally doesn’t allow people to sue their employers, we may be able to find a third party to sue. 

For example, if you were injured by a defective piece of equipment, we could help you sue the manufacturer of that equipment to help you recover more money than you would get from workers’ compensation alone.

How Long Do You Have to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Massachusetts?

While you should inform your employer about your work-related injury or illness as soon as possible, you have four years to file a workers’ compensation claim in Massachusetts.

Waiting too long to inform your employer about your injury can throw doubt on your claim that you suffered the injury at work rather than somewhere else, so you should always promptly tell your employer about work-related incidents.

Additionally, the longer you wait to take action, the more evidence can go missing and the harder it can become to prove your claim. Schedule a free consultation with us today to start moving your case forward.

How Much Does a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer in Newton Cost?

If you’re dealing with a workers’ compensation claim, you’re probably not in a financial position to afford upfront fees for a lawyer, so our experienced attorneys work on contingency fees to offer you peace of mind.

We’ll take a percentage of the money we recover for you rather than charging you anything upfront. We don’t charge retainers or hourly rates; we just do what it takes to win your case.

You never have to reach into your pocket to pay us, so schedule a free, no-obligation consultation today to find out how we can help you with your workers’ compensation claim.
