A common phrase at Sheff Law is, "As you grieve, insurance companies prepare." This axiom could not be any truer than in the case of workplace accidents, which include construction site accidents, manufacturing facilities, ships, railroads, retail shops and other working environments. When someone is injured at work in Massachusetts, they are generally entitled to worker's compensation benefits.

Although worker's compensation is a beneficial and necessary start, it fails to adequately compensate victims for the full scope of their injuries. In Massachusetts, workers receive only 60% of their pre-accident wages, and are NOT compensated for any pain and suffering associated with the workplace accident. The attorneys at Sheff Law are experts at deciphering and discovering the other parties who contributed to your accident, especially those who are not "barred" by worker's compensation laws. We find these additional "third party" defendants through research, interview, experts, the internet and investigation techniques. When Sheff Law is successful in finding these "third party" defendants, we are able to file a traditional lawsuit on behalf of workplace accident victims and often recover compensation for their pain and suffering.
