Workers get injured everywhere. Construction workers get injured while working on high rise buildings in Boston, and they get injured while delivering packages in Pittsfield. No matter where a work injury happens, Massachusetts employees are entitled to Workers Compensation benefits. This can even be true in accidents that happen outside of the state.
How to Pick a Workers Compensation LawyerPicking a lawyer is an important decision, especially when dealing with a Workers Compensation claim. The right lawyer will guide you to make sure you get the benefits you deserve, and you get the medical treatment you need. When your paycheck is on the line, you need to be confident in your choice.
First, you obviously want a lawyer who has experience with Workers Compensation. These cases are different from other types of personal injury cases, and many strictly “personal injury” attorneys don’t handle these claims. At Marcotte Law Firm, we’ve handled thousands of Workers Compensation cases over decades of practice. We know what we’re doing.
Second, you want to find a lawyer that puts you at ease. Workers Compensation cases can take months if not years to resolve. This is especially true for workers who are seriously or permanently injured. Since you’ll be working with your attorney for such a long time, you’ll want someone you get along with. At Marcotte Law Firm, we all mimic our founder, Albert Marcotte. He took pride in being a man of the people, and the attorneys he trained took that to heart.
Finally, you’ll want a lawyer who is accessible. More than just being reachable by phone or email, having a local lawyer is important. If you’re injured, traveling can be difficult, making traveling into Boston difficult, if not impossible. With offices not only in Lowell, but also in Woburn and Andover, we try to make things as convenient for our clients as possible. More importantly, a local lawyer knows the local community. A local lawyer can guide you not only through getting the wage benefits you deserve, but also making sure you’re seeing the right doctors for your condition.
