Massachusetts Workers' Compensation Sourcebook & Citator

The Massachusetts Workers' Compensation Law Sourcebook and Citator is an absolutely essential desk reference, packed with both federal and state primary law sources you need close at hand when appearing before the Department of Industrial Accidents—on either side of the counsel table. The sourcebook contains the full text of Chapter 152, related statutes and pertinent sections of the state code, the text of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, and other key laws that address disability, access, privacy, discrimination. The editor and reviewer have also selected useful practice guides published by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on injury, employer's issues, lump sum calculations, and vocational rehabilitation. Featured are guides for calculating awards for loss of function and disfigurement, a guide to using the Disability Management System (DMS), forms for every transaction at the Department of Industrial Accidents, as well as helpful sources for Section 15 petitions for third-party settlements. You'll also find the text of several landmark decisions that every workers' compensation practitioner should be familiar with Scheffler's Case , Commonwealth v. Lanigan , Hunter v. Midwest Coast Transport , Sciarotta v. Bowen , and Jose Ruiz's Case ; along with citations and summaries of recent decisions.
