Attorney answers:
Can he still qualify for workers comp or is this fraud?
He can make any claim which can be supported by evidence. If there is a lack of supporting evidence, he will lose his claim. An experienced workers comp lawyer will review the medicals and make the call as to whether the claim is worth bringing; it is certainly worth bringing for SSDI.

Attorney answers:
If a person gets injured before their shift starts but, they are on company property, are they covered by workers comp in MA?
