Every year, thousands of hardworking people in Massachusetts — from construction workers and healthcare staff to delivery drivers and factory employees — are injured on the job. The physical pain and financial strain can be overwhelming. Medical bills grow quickly, and when you’re unable to work, lost income increases your stress. You have a legal right to workers’ compensation benefits for injuries sustained on the job, and connecting with the right legal representation is essential to navigating the system successfully.
At Ellis & Associates, your neighbors in Worcester, Massachusetts, we’ve spent nearly 60 years helping injured workers and their families obtain the financial security they deserve. If you’ve been hurt at work, our mission is simple: to ensure you receive every benefit available under Massachusetts workers’ compensation law.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim in Massachusetts?
You should report your workplace injury to your employer immediately. In most cases, you have up to four years from the date of injury to file, but acting quickly protects your rights and strengthens your claim.
What benefits am I entitled to under Massachusetts workers’ compensation?
You may be entitled to:
- Payment for medical expenses and rehabilitation
- A percentage of lost wages while you can’t work
- Vocational retraining for new employment
- Permanent disability benefits if applicable
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim?
No. Massachusetts law prohibits retaliation against employees who file legitimate workers’ compensation claims. If you believe you’ve been terminated or discriminated against for exercising your rights, contact us.
What if my claim is denied?
You have the right to appeal a denied claim. A qualified attorney can review your case, identify why the claim was denied, gather additional evidence, and represent you throughout the appeals process.
Do I need a lawyer for my workers’ compensation claim?
You’re not required to hire an attorney, but having one significantly increases your chances of securing full benefits, especially if your claim is disputed, involves permanent disability, or has been denied. Legal representation ensures you understand your rights and receive fair treatment throughout the process.
