Understanding the Workers’ Compensation System in Norfolk, Massachusetts

When a worker suffers job related injury in Norfolk, such as a slip and fall, the injury should be reported to the employer as soon as possible. The employer or worker should submit a claim for worker’s compensation benefits to the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company. The insurance company will either pay the claim or deny benefits. If the workers’ comp claim is denied, the injured worker must make a claim to the DIA.

The Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) is responsible for overseeing the Workers’ Compensation system in Massachusetts. A worker injured in Norfolk, MA, will bring a claim for workers’ compensation benefits to the DIA regional office to be heard by a conciliator or administrative judge. The judge decides whether the injured Norfolk worker is entitled to compensation.

Norfolk residents should use the Boston office of the DIA. This office is located at Department of Industrial Accidents, 1 Congress St., Suite 100, Boston, MA 02114-2017. The phone number is (617) 727-4900, ext. 470. Additional information can be found at the Department of Industrial Accidents website.

You do not necessarily need an attorney to file a claim for benefits. You may represent yourself for any proceedings before the DIA. However, it is strongly advised that you seek legal counsel to protect your rights and interests due to the complexity of the workers’ compensation law.
