Maximum Amount of Workers’ Comp | Is There a Cap on Benefits?

A call I get a lot is about whether or not there are any caps on workers’ compensation benefits in Massachusetts. There’s no overall cap. Some benefits are limited in their time and what they pay, but there is no overall cap. If you’re on permanent total disability in Massachusetts, that can be paid for your lifetime. To get answers to your questions about what your benefits are, you should speak with a qualified workers’ compensation attorney.

Maximum Amount of Workers’ Comp | Statute of Limitations

I got a call the other day from a gentleman. He was injured at work about a year ago and he didn’t file a workers’ comp claim right away. His question was about how long he had to file that claim. In Massachusetts, there’s a four-year statute of limitations on filing workers’ comp claims, but it’s best to file it as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the staler the evidence is, and the harder it is to prove your case in front of a judge. You should file right away.
