FAQ
Sheri Bowles, Interim Director, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents: The Department of Industrial Accidents' (DIA) vision is to equitably serve injured workers, insurers, and employers. DIA oversees the Massachusetts workers' compensation system.
You have 7 calendar days (except for Sundays and legal holidays) after the injured worker's 5th day of full or partial disability to report the injury to the DIA. You need to file the Form 101 - Employer's First Report of Injury/Fatality via a DIA online account.
Case law in Massachusetts has held, generally, that compensation for an injury arising out of and in the course of employment does not extend to cover employees going to and coming from their work. This is referred to as the ?going-and-coming? rule. This rule bars recovery of workers' compensation benefits.
In Massachusetts, actions for personal injury generally must be brought within three years of the date the injury occurred or in medical malpractice cases, within three years of when the injured person knew or should have discovered the negligence that caused the injury.
What is the statute of limitations? Under the workers compensation law, (MGL c. 152, § 41) for injuries on or after January 1, 1986, a claim must be filed with the insurer within 4 years of the date you become aware of a connection between your injury/illness and your employment.
For how long? Compensation begins on the 6th day of disability. You will not be paid for the first 5 days unless you can't work for 21 calendar days or more.
