Practice Areas Description
At Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C., our workplace injury lawyers handle the full range of workers’ compensation cases, injuries and issues. If you’ve been injured on the job, you’ll get experienced legal help in these areas:- Pre-Existing Conditions
Massachusetts has a workers’ compensation system that is set up to pay injured workers’ medical benefits and lost wages while the worker is recovering from an injury on the job. Employers are required to accept workers as they are. No worker injured at a workplace or work site forfeits their workers’ compensation benefits just because they have a pre-existing medical condition, or suffered a prior work or non-work related injury.
- Neck & Back Injuries
If you suffered a back or neck injury, you may be unable to work for an extended period. You may be eligible for temporary total disability, partial disability, or permanent and total disability benefits. A knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney can review your neck or back injury and advise you about which benefits you may collect. Employee workers’ compensation benefits are determined by several factors, including your average weekly wage and your degree of incapacity from a workplace injury.
- Foot & Ankle Injuries
If you suffered a foot or ankle injury related to your employment in Massachusetts, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits no matter who caused the accident. Workers’ compensation benefits may include lost wages, medical expenses and vocational rehabilitation costs. The amount of workers’ compensation benefits depends on your average wages and the degree of incapacity caused by your workplace injury.
- Knee, Shoulder & Elbow Injuries
After a knee, shoulder or elbow injury, employee’s workers’ compensation benefits are determined by several factors, including average weekly wage and degree of incapacity from a workplace injury.

A construction worker who works for a subcontractor may also have a legal claim against a general contractor or another subcontractor who contributed to an accident by not being mindful of workplace safety or not properly maintaining equipment.
