We previously advised you of the Massachusetts DIA's new policy limiting lump sum settlement agreements to only one date of injury, wherein the parties now need to draft separate lump sum settlement documents for each board number and date of injury they seek to close out. That Administrative Bulletin may be found here .

The DIA is now requiring that the affidavit accompanying a Section 19 Agreement with a Pro-Se Employee must be notarized! 

TKCK is a workers' compensation and civil litigation firm handling cases in the all six New England States (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont) and at the Federal level for Longshore Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act and Defense Base Act claims.

We are approved panel counsel for most major insurers, including AIG, ACE/Chubb, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Zurich, PMA, Utica, XL Specialty, Starr, The Hartford, CNA, Berkley, Acadia and others. We have longstanding partnerships with most major Third Party Administrators and Self-Insured Groups and we are designated counsel for many of the largest employers in New England.


Experience Matters. Results Count.
