Construction is among the most dangerous industries, and Massachusetts sites see serious injuries from falls, struck-by incidents, electrocutions, and equipment failures every year.
An injured worker is generally entitled to Massachusetts workers' compensation benefits regardless of fault, covering medical care and a portion of lost wages. Workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against the employer.
But many construction injuries involve third parties — equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, property owners, or other contractors. A claim against a negligent third party can recover damages beyond workers' comp, including full lost earnings and pain and suffering.
Sorting out workers' comp and third-party claims, and coordinating them so benefits aren't lost to liens, is complex. An attorney can pursue every available source of recovery for a seriously injured worker.
