Workers' Compensation
Keches Law Group was founded in 1986 as a workers’ compensation firm with only three lawyers. Thirty years later, the firm has over thirty lawyers in five Massachusetts offices, each of whom is well-equipped to help clients and their families get the compensation they deserve following a work-related injury.
The skilled and experienced workers' comp lawyers at Keches Law Group know that every injured worker worries about getting proper medical care, paying for that care on top of other life expenses, and having a job to return to once they have recovered from their injury. No one plans — or even expects — to get hurt on the job, and being out of work, dealing with an injury, and trying to go up against an insurance company that has denied your claim is perhaps the most stressful thing you may ever experience as a worker.
The workers’ compensation attorneys at Keches Law Group are part of a passionate team that will handle your workers’ compensation case from beginning to end. All members of Keches Law Group are advocates for the rights of working people, in and out of the courtroom.
No Fee PolicyKeches Law Group workers’ compensation lawyers work on a strict no fee policy: you will never be charged a fee. If you win your claim, the workers’ compensation insurance company pays for your legal fees. If your case settles, the fee is deducted from the settlement.
