What Is Workers' Compensation?

Workers compensation is a form of insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured during the course of employment. The system is designed to ensure that workers who are hurt on the job can receive immediate care and financial support without the need to prove fault. In exchange, workers typically forfeit their right to file a lawsuit against their employer.

If you’ve been injured while working, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and even long-term rehabilitation needs. A workers’ compensation attorney can help you navigate the system and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re owed.

Common Workplace Injuries

Workplace accidents come in many forms. At Rob Levine Law, we represent workers who have sustained a variety of injuries, including:

  • Slip-and-fall accidents due to hazardous conditions
  • Repetitive stress injuries from overexertion or improper ergonomics
  • Heavy machinery accidents leading to serious injuries
  • Construction accidents involving falls, equipment malfunction, or unsafe practices
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries, and other workplace conditions that impair workers

You may have grounds for a workers’ compensation claim if you’ve suffered any of these injuries or others in the workplace. Our New England workplace injury attorneys are here to help guide you through the process.

How Does the Workers' Compensation Process Work?

Filing a workers’ compensation claim can be overwhelming, but our experienced team is here to help. The general steps involved in filing a claim include:

  1. Report the injury to your employer as soon as it occurs, even if it seems minor.
  2. Seek medical attention immediately to assess the injury and document your condition.
  3. File the claim with your employer or insurance company, ensuring all necessary forms are filled out correctly.
  4. Follow up with your attorney, who will ensure your claim is processed efficiently and fairly.

It’s important to note that approximately 13% of workers’ compensation claims are denied upon first submission. Having an experienced workers compensation lawyer can help prevent delays and denials, ensuring your claim is handled properly.

Who Is Eligible for Workers' Compensation?

In New England, most workers are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if they are injured while performing their job duties. This includes:

  • Full-time employees
  • Part-time employees
  • Temporary workers
  • Contract workers (depending on the specifics of their contract)

Our team will help you determine your eligibility and guide you through the process of filing a claim. Workers’ compensation eligibility can vary by state, so it’s important to speak with an attorney who understands the local laws.

What If My Workers' Compensation Claim Is Denied?

If your claim is denied or you feel the benefits are insufficient, you still have options. At Rob Levine Law, we will help you appeal the denial, negotiate with insurance companies, or take the matter to court if necessary. The most common reasons for claim denials include:

  • Failure to report the injury promptly
  • Insufficient medical documentation
  • Disputes over whether the injury occurred at work

Our team will help you build a strong case to challenge the denial and secure the compensation you deserve.

FAQs About Workers' Compensation

How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim in New England?

The statute of limitations for filing a workers’ compensation claim varies by state but typically ranges from 1 to 4 years from the date of the injury. It’s important to file as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.

If you’re injured at work, taking the right steps is crucial to ensuring your health and protecting your legal rights. Here’s what you should do:

  1. Report the injury to your supervisor immediately, even if it seems minor.
  2. Seek medical attention right away, and make sure to keep a record of your treatment.
  3. Document the incident: Take photos of the accident scene, if possible, and gather witness statements.
  4. Follow up on paperwork: Ensure all necessary workers’ compensation forms are filled out correctly and submitted promptly.

These steps can help prevent delays in your claim and ensure you get the medical care and compensation you need.

Workers’ compensation covers medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and, in some cases, compensation for permanent disability or disfigurement.

Proper documentation of a workplace injury is essential for your workers’ compensation claim. Here’s how to do it effectively:

  • Report the injury to your employer immediately.
  • Take photos of the injury, accident scene, and hazards.
  • Keep medical records of treatments, diagnoses, and prescriptions.
  • Collect witness statements and contact information.

Thorough documentation strengthens your claim and helps avoid disputes.

If a third party is responsible for your injury, you may be able to file both a workers’ compensation claim and a third-party liability claim. This can allow you to recover additional compensation for damages not covered by workers’ compensation, such as pain and suffering or lost wages. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate both claims.
