Boston Workers Compensation Attorney Christopher Earley Can Help You

If you experienced a workers compensation accident it is crucial to report the accident immediately to your employer.  Once you do your employer must report the claim to its workers compensation insurance company, which has 14 days to determine whether or not it will pay the claim, or deny the claim.
In the meantime, it is important for you to seek prompt medical attention. Make sure to report to the medical personnel that treat you that you had a work accident.  That way, the medical records will be clear and accurate as to the cause of your injuries.  Workers compensation cases are won and lost in court everyday over the wording contained in medical records.
