Located in Norfolk County with a population of over 90,000, Quincy is the 8th largest city in Massachusetts. The “City of Presidents” was incorporated in 1972 and became a city in 1888. Quincy is comprised of many neighborhoods and villages, including Squantum, Wollaston, Merrymount, Hough’s Neck, Marina Bay, Montclair, North Quincy, Quincy Center, West Quincy and Adam’s Shore.
Historically, Quincy was known as a manufacturing and heavy industry city, with granite quarrying being the predominant industry in the 19th Century and shipbuilding at the Fore River Shipyard and Squantum Victory providing thousands of jobs in the 20th Century. In the 21st century, Quincy’s economy and job market has shifted to financial service, insurance and healthcare jobs moving into Quincy. The transformation of the job market in Quincy over the past few decades has also provided Quincy area residents with employment in the construction and building trades, including electricians, sheet metal workers, iron workers, pipe fitters, sprinkler fitters, laborers, roofers, excavators, heavy machine operators and crane operators.

Let Us Handle the Confusing Paper Work While You Focus on RecoveryOften times following an injury at work, your employer and their workers’ compensation insurer will send you misleading and confusing paperwork to complete. You should be aware that you may be giving up significant legal rights by signing this paperwork without first consulting with a Quincy workers’ compensation attorney. For example, you may be provided with a Form 105 – Agreement to Extend 180 Day Payment-Without-Prejudice Period document under the guise that the insurance company is doing you a favor by extending your benefits. Many injured workers who do not have attorneys give up significant advantages by signing this form. You should never sign any legal documents without first consulting with an attorney. Our consultations are always free of charge to you, there are no costs for you to obtain the professional advice of one of our attorneys.
