Bill Summary
Relative to workers' compensation disfigurement benefits concerning scarring. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill amends the workers' compensation law in Massachusetts to expand the definition of disfigurement benefits to include scarring on the arms and legs, not just the hands. Specifically, it changes the language in the existing law to cover scarring that extends distally (away from the body) to the elbows and knees, rather than just the hands. This change broadens the scope of disfigurement benefits available to workers who sustain scarring injuries as a result of a workplace accident.
