While there is a four year statue of limitations for filing a comp claim in Massachusetts, if the insurer paid any bill, you don't have to worry about that time limit. You can file again. Call me with any questions. 781-829-9100.

You cannot be terminated from your employment because of your injury so long as you can still perform the essential functions. You may wish to consult with counsel about that as well as the workers' compensation claim. Sincerely, Jay M. Wolman ____________________________________ Jay M. Wolman, Esq.
