The establishment of the Massachusetts Workers'
Compensation system came at a time when injured workers were
engaged in almost exclusively manual labor. Today's job market,
however, has shifted from predominantly manual labor. The
obligation to provide workers' compensation benefits, however,
has not changed.
Each year thousands of persons in occupations
thought to be immune from work place accidents are injured.
These injuries include the effects of repetitive use such
as carpal tunnel syndrome, often the product of day long use
of a computer keyboard, exposure to work place toxins, and
the daily stress which has led to difficult, and in some situations,
hostile work environments.
Technical support personnel and salespersons
who are injured while making calls on customers are also afforded
protection under the Massachusetts workers' compensation act
regardless of whether they may have contributed to, or actually
caused the accident in which they are injured. The Massachusetts
Workers' Compensation Act provides benefits to any worker
injured while performing his employer's work, on the premises
or off, regardless of who is at fault. Thus, for example,
a salesperson who causes a motor vehicle accident is not barred
from recovery of workers' compensation benefits while he may
be barred from successfully bringing a lawsuit in the very
same accident.
Over the past several decades the incidence
of emotional injuries associated with stress of today’s demanding
employment market debilitate countless others. So long as
the work place stressors are a major contributing cause of
an injured worker's psychological condition disability payments
and medical care to address the condition may be covered by
Massachusetts workers' compensation.
The issue that is most critical in these
matters is not necessarily whether a person suffers from a
disabling condition, but rather whether that disabling condition
arose out of and in the course of employment, terms of art
for the lawyers who practice this area of law. These terms
of art require injured workers to seek the advice of counsel
to even the playing field with the insurance company that
most certainly will retain counsel.
