Covid and The Law in Massachusetts
Because the worldwide Covid pandemic is an unprecedented event in the last 100 years, the law around the disease is in a state of flux. What is or is not permitted in the workplace can change overnight. At the same time, the long-term health effects of a Covid infection are uncertain. This is why it is important to contact a lawyer that is experienced in Covid 19 related cases and let them guide you through the legal situation.
If you contracted Covid at work, you need to determine if this was misfortune or the result of your employer’s negligence in order to determine your legal strategy for compensation. At the same time, you need to protect yourself from employers and others offering you compensation while you are still dealing with the shock and fright of testing positive, and fear of what the future might bring.
On top of the unsettled nature of Covid infection, you might encounter an employer who does not accept your claims or refuses to accept your judgement while an appeal is pending, leaving you without any benefits. Or what if you recover from the illness, apparently healthy, and so receive little or no settlement at all? What can you do if you suffer debilitating side effects later on?
