Worker's Compensation

This area covers individuals who have been injured while working for their employer. Often, an employee may be injured to the extent that they are unable to work. The Massachusetts workers compensation system is set up to pay injured workers sixty percent of their average weekly wage. Also, all reasonable and necessary medical bills are covered by workers compensation. There is also statutory compensation for injured workers who have a portion of their body permanently disabled and for scarring to the hands and face.

Social Security Disability

Federal Disability Benefits are available to workers or individuals if you are medically unable to work. If you are found to be eligible, you receive monthly cash payments. There are two general programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) which provides benefits to disabled workers and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) which is an income based program for disabled persons who do not have the required work history to be eligible for SSDI.

Under these programs, a person is disabled if they are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity due to any medical determinable physical or mental impairment. The disability must have lasted or be expected to last for a period of twelve months or more.

The Law Office of Steven R. Whitman represents persons seeking benefits through all stages of the eligibility process, from application to the final determination of the case.
