Workers'
compensation is a form of insurance made to protect the employee’s rights in
the eyes of Massachusetts law. It will
provide the employee with lost wages and medical benefits during their
recovery.
Any
organization, whether a profit or non-profit, or a charitable one, who employs
people must purchase such an insurance package in order to protect the well-being
of their employees.
Some
of the many injuries to employees they have represented include:
Injuries to Knee
Knee
injury is common to workers who stand for long periods while working. Medical
nurses or construction workers would appropriately fall into this
category. The latter ones may have to
lift heavy objects which can cause the following injuries:
They
sustain the following types of injuries.
- Meniscus Injuries or the knee ‘giving out.’
- Sprain or ligament injury is a common form for construction workers. It hinders proper leg functioning; the recovery process may continue for months.
- Chondromalacia or the softening of the kneecap. The treatment may require physical therapy besides medication. Upon sustenance beyond a certain period, your doctor may recommend a reconstructive surgery called the Anterior Cruciate Ligament tears.
Eye Injuries
The
Quincy Workers Compensation scheme provides that:
- You will receive 39 times your weekly salary if one eye is lost due to workplace injury but ocular muscle stays intact.
- The compensation would be 96 times your weekly salary if you have lost sight in both eyes.
All
these issues will cause you to miss months of work which in turn causes a huge
financial burden to both you and your family.
The
Government recommends recovery of lost wages as well as paying for the medical treatment.
Ladas Law firm will negotiate and if necessary, file suit with the appropriate agencies
in order for you get the wage and medical benefits you are entitled to.
