The act "is a remedial statute and should be given a broad interpretation, viewed in light of its purpose and to promote the accomplishment of its beneficent design." Sellers's Case, 452 Mass. 804, 810, 898 N.E.2d 494 (2008), quoting Neff v. Commissioner of the Dep't of Indus. Accs., 421 Mass. 70, 73, 653 N.E.2d 556 (1995). "Like all statutory provisions, § 15 'must be interpreted according to the intent of the Legislature ascertained from all its words construed by the ordinary and approved usage of the language, considered in connection with the cause of its enactment, the mischief or imperfection to be remedied and the main object to be accomplished, to the end that the purpose of its framers may be effectuated.' " DiCarlo v. Suffolk Constr. Co., 473 Mass. 624, 628, 45 N.E.3d 571 (2016), quoting Galenski v. Erving, 471 Mass. 305, 309, 28 N.E.3d 470 (2015).
