Work Injury Benefits - Your Rights Under the Law
The Maryland workers' compensation system protects employees and their dependents from financial hardships that arise from job-related injuries. Under this system, employees first file a claim with the Workers' Compensation Commission; the Commission's decision may later be appealed in a circuit court.
Employees do not need to prove that the employer was at fault when submitting a claim with the Commission. The work-injury benefits to which an injured employee is entitled depend on the nature and extent of the injury involved. These benefits may include compensation for:
- Lost wages
- Medical expenses (including doctor visits and prescriptions)
- Death benefits
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Mileage for travel to therapy or treatment
- Money award for permanent injury
Although work-related injuries are likely to happen on construction sites, in chemical factories and in manufacturing plants, they are also common in office environments, where injuries can include:
- Repetitive strain syndrome
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Muscle strain
We Work Hard for You
Workers' compensation laws are complex. Our skill and experience can help you navigate the claims process. If your employer's insurance company refuses to provide you with medical treatment, we can ask the Workers' Compensation Commission to order the insurer to do so. You may be eligible for benefits in addition to lost wages and medical expenses, and we will help you demand recovery for these losses, including money for permanent injury.
We are a full-service law firm and we handle every aspect of our clients' cases, including contact with the employers and the workers' compensation insurance companies.
We coordinate the provision of benefits to make sure that you receive those to which you are entitled. We strive to arrange authorization for the medical treatment and the payment of lost wages that you deserve, and we will represent you at all required hearings. We pride ourselves on being accessible to our clients, and we return all calls promptly.
If you were injured on the job and need representation to help you recover lost wages, medical expenses or other losses incurred by the injury, contact us by e-mail, or call our Pasadena office at 410-777-8230 or our Stevensville office at 410-643-2202 and schedule a free initial consultation.
We accept Visa and MasterCard. We make home and hospital visits to clients who are incapacitated.
