Your Rights After a Workplace Injury
The law often requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which is designed to cover medical expenses and lost income if you’re hurt on the job. But too often, workers encounter obstacles—delayed claims, denied benefits, pressure to return to work prematurely, or outright retaliation. That’s where we step in.
At New England Law Group, we help injured workers understand and assert their legal rights. If you’ve been hurt at work and feel like the system is working against you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We advocate for:
- Full coverage of medical expenses, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
- Reimbursement for lost wages, including temporary or permanent disability benefits.
- Compensation for pain and suffering, especially in cases of gross negligence or third-party liability.
- Protection from retaliation if you report an injury or file a claim.
Why Legal Representation Matters
While workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, that doesn’t mean securing your benefits is simple or automatic. Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line, not your well-being. They may dispute the severity of your injury, argue that it was not job-related, or push for a quick settlement that doesn’t fully reflect your losses.
Having legal counsel on your side levels the playing field. Our attorneys have extensive experience dealing with insurance adjusters, medical experts, and legal deadlines. We conduct thorough investigations, gather strong evidence, and ensure every element of your claim is supported and presented effectively. If your claim is denied, we’re prepared to appeal the decision and represent you at administrative hearings or in court if necessary.
Beyond Workers’ Compensation: When You May Have a Personal Injury Claim
In some cases, workers injured on the job may have additional legal options beyond the workers’ compensation system. For example, if your injury was caused by a third party—such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner—you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit for damages beyond what workers’ comp provides.
These claims can include compensation for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct
We will evaluate every angle of your case to determine the full range of legal remedies available to you.

Workplace Injury FAQs
Can I file a personal injury claim if I am already receiving workers compensation?
In some cases yes, especially if a third party such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner contributed to your injury.
What if my employer denies that my injury happened at work?
You should still report the injury, seek medical care, and speak with an attorney who can help gather evidence and protect your right to benefits.
What if my workplace injury developed over time rather than from a single accident?
You may still be eligible for compensation, as repetitive stress injuries and cumulative trauma are recognized workplace injuries in Massachusetts.
Can I choose my own doctor for a workplace injury evaluation?
Yes, you are allowed to seek treatment from your own doctor, though your employer’s insurer may also require an independent medical exam.
What happens if my workers compensation claim is denied?
You still have the right to appeal the decision, and an attorney can help you gather evidence and navigate the appeals process.
