Understanding Workers’ Compensation in Massachusetts
Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured on the job. In Massachusetts, most employers are legally required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, and you’re entitled to file a claim regardless of who was at fault for the injury.
Workers’ compensation benefits may include:
- Payment for medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Temporary or permanent disability benefits
- Partial wage replacement
- Vocational training if you can’t return to your previous job
- Death benefits for surviving family members in fatal cases
Despite these protections, employers and insurers don’t always make the process easy. That’s where we come in.
What To Do After a Workplace Injury
If you’ve been injured on the job in Boston or anywhere in Massachusetts, taking the right steps early can protect your rights and improve your chances of a successful claim:
1. Report the Injury Immediately
Notify your employer or supervisor as soon as possible. Delayed reporting could result in claim denial or delayed benefits.
2. Seek Medical Attention
Get evaluated by a doctor, even if your injuries seem minor. Documenting your injury is crucial to building a strong claim.
3. File a Workers’ Compensation Claim
Your employer should file a Form 101 with their insurance carrier. If they don’t, or if your claim is denied, contact a workers’ comp attorney right away.
4. Keep Detailed Records
Save medical records, correspondence with your employer or insurer, pay stubs, and any notes about how your injury affects your work or life.

Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Laws: What You Should Know
➤ You Can’t Be Fired for Filing a Claim
Massachusetts law prohibits employers from retaliating against workers who file workers’ comp claims. If you believe you were wrongfully terminated after reporting an injury, call us immediately.
➤ You Don’t Have to Prove Fault
Workers’ comp is a “no-fault” system. You don’t need to prove your employer was negligent to receive benefits. As long as the injury happened during the course of your job, you are typically eligible.
➤ You Can Choose Your Own Doctor
After your first medical visit (which may be directed by your employer), you have the right to choose your own treating physician for continued care.
➤ You Have a Limited Time to File
In Massachusetts, you generally have four years from the date you learned your injury was work-related to file a claim—but waiting can hurt your case. Acting fast is in your best interest.
