Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation: Claims, Disputes, and Help
On This Page
Which System Handles This Claim?
Massachusetts uses Form 110, Employee Claim, when an injured worker needs the Department of Industrial Accidents to address an unpaid or denied claim. The state’s instructions distinguish how attorneys file from how self-represented workers submit this form.
Official Massachusetts Guidance.
How Do I Report the Injury?
Report the work injury to the employer and obtain the carrier’s name. Record your injury date, first day missed, work schedule, and treating provider. These details help complete the Employee Claim and explain the benefits sought.
Official Massachusetts Guidance.
What Do I File?
The current filing page directs self-represented workers to mail or bring in the signed Form 110 with supporting documentation. Attorneys use their online accounts. The worker instructions also require a copy for the insurer, sent by certified mail, and a copy for personal records.
Official Massachusetts Guidance.
What if Benefits Are Disputed?
Conciliation is the first dispute-resolution step described after filing. The state requires at least one listed supporting item with the form, such as a medical report or unpaid bill, and tells workers to bring the remaining evidence to conciliation.

Where Can I Get Help, and What Should I Bring?
Before submitting, check the benefit type requested and the insurer’s service address. Keep proof of the insurer mailing and agency submission separately. DIA’s Public Information Office can explain process questions; its injured-worker hub links later dispute-resolution and appeal guidance if conciliation does not resolve the case.
