Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts

I work in the building trade for a contractor who is rebuilding his own home. I fell 18' and landed on a concrete footing. I drove myself to the emergency room. I've been in pain for 5 weeks now. I have an MRI scheduled on 8/26 to see whats damaged. The Doctors at The original visit to the emergency room said my pelvis and hip was not fractured. I have to work in pain every day or else I don't get paid! I'd like to see what my options are... Can you help me???

If you were working for this contractor as an employee you could assert a workers' compensation claim, if that contractor has insurance, otherwise you could assert a claim a claim against the trust fund. Depending if someone is at fault for your injury, and whether you were employed by that person or not, you may have other rights. Just as you leave your house to see doctors, you must leave your house to see an experienced lawyer to see if you have a case and if the lawyer will take it. Best luck, JBS
