Workers’ Compensation Representation in Massachusetts
Suffering a work-related injury can create serious physical, emotional, and financial hardships. When an injury or occupational illness sidelines you from work, understanding your rights and securing the benefits you deserve is critical. At Xifaras Law, we represent employees throughout Massachusetts who have been hurt on the job, guiding them through the workers’ compensation process with experienced advocacy and personalized attention.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits
While workers’ compensation is intended to be no-fault, insurers often look for reasons to delay, limit, or deny claims. You may be asked to submit to independent medical examinations, attend hearings, or provide extensive documentation — all while managing your recovery and everyday responsibilities.
Our attorneys assist with:
- Preparing and filing the initial claim
- Communicating with insurers and employers on your behalf
- Reviewing medical evidence and legal requirements
- Representing you at hearings before the Department of Industrial Accidents
- Appealing denials or unfavorable decisions
With an experienced worker’s compensation attorney by your side, you can focus on healing while we handle the legal process.
Why You Need Skilled Legal Representation
Massachusetts law provides injured workers with benefits regardless of fault, including compensation for:
- Medical treatment related to the injury
- Temporary total or partial disability benefits
- Permanent disability benefits
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Death benefits for dependents
These benefits are designed to help injured workers recover physically and financially. However, obtaining fair and timely benefits can be complicated by insurance company denials, disputes, and procedural requirements. Xifaras Law helps clients understand their rights and fight for the full benefits they are entitled to under the law.
Common Types of Workplace Injuries
We represent clients with a wide range of workplace injuries, including:
- Construction accidents and falls
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Motor vehicle accidents during work duties
- Injuries caused by heavy machinery
- Occupational illnesses or exposure
- Back, neck, and shoulder injuries
No matter how your injury occurred, our firm carefully evaluates your case to ensure all compensable benefits are pursued.
Timely Action Matters
There are strict deadlines for filing a workers’ compensation claim in Massachusetts. Failing to take prompt action can result in the loss of valuable benefits. If you are injured on the job, speaking with an attorney early can make a significant difference in your ability to secure compensation.
