Workers’ Compensation Practice in Massachusetts

Practical, comprehensive, and easy-to-use

Designed as a comprehensive and practical guide to the intricacies of the Massachusetts Workers' Compensation Act (G.L. Chapter 152) and practice before the Department of Industrial Accidents, Workers' Compensation Practice in Massachusetts assists general practitioners and workers' compensation specialists alike. The book addresses workers' compensation law in detail—covering such topics as the types of employees and injuries subject to the statute and the types of benefits available—and reviews each of the stages in the progression of a workers' compensation proceeding, from initial filing through appeal. The book also discusses a number of important related topics, including settlement procedures and the interaction between workers' compensation law and disability statutes.
