When a person is injured during the course of their employment, a state’s workers compensation statute controls what type of benefits a person receives and whether the injured worker is even entitled to any money at all. If you’re a Massachusetts employee who received an insurers request to lengthen the “payment without prejudice period” (Form 105) or you’re a Rhode Island employee who is not currently receiving any weekly benefits after a work accident, you need to contact our office immediately to make sure your claim is protected. Without legal counsel, an injured employee may be giving up rights they did not even know they had after suffering a work injury. Workers’ compensation insurers do not have injured employees’ best interests in mind. An insurance company’s number one job is to watch their bottom line. At Buonanno Law, P.C. we make them pay. Contact our office immediately if you or a loved one is hurt at work. Even if you are already receiving weekly benefits. In most cases, this office will be able to obtain you a lump sum settlement for your injuries.
