This case highlights how Attorney Pappas aggressively advocates for injured workers across Massachusetts, ensuring they receive the workers' compensation benefits they rightfully deserve.
Injury on the Job in Marlborough, MA
Our client, a dedicated CNA, suffered a serious workplace injury while lifting and repositioning a patient at an assisted living facility in Marlborough, MA. The injury caused significant neck pain and a unique neurological injury, leading to multiple medical appointments, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, and substantial lost time at work. Like many CNAs and healthcare workers in Massachusetts, this client faced physical pain, lost wages, and uncertainty about their future employment and income.
Legal Action for Weekly Disability Benefits and Medical Treatment
After the injury, our client faced resistance from her employer and workers’ compensation insurance coverage regarding medical treatment approvals and weekly Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits. That’s when Attorney Pappas stepped in.
Attorney Pappas immediately filed a claim with the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) and fought to secure the weekly compensation the client deserved. Through litigation and aggressive representation, he obtained a Conference Order from the Judge awarding weekly disability benefits retroactive to the date of injury and into the future with no end date. Included in the Order was continued payment of all reasonable and necessary medical treatment under Massachusetts workers' compensation law.
Fighting for Full Workers' Compensation Benefits
Attorney Pappas maintained close contact with his client and her family as well as her medical providers to ensure complete documentation of the injury’s severity and long-term impact. Through skillful negotiation and a deep understanding of the Massachusetts workers’ compensation system, he preserved full benefits during the healing and recovery period.
Lump Sum Settlement for CNA in Framingham
Once the client’s medical condition stabilized, Attorney Pappas began negotiating a lump sum settlement.

This resolution gave the client peace of mind, financial security, and closure without the risks, uncertainty, and delays of continued litigation.
