What Should I Do After A Work Injury In Baltimore?

If you suffered a work-related injury or illness, report it to your employer as soon as possible. Getting medical attention right away after an accident will also be crucial to your workers’ compensation claim. Medical records are critical documentation to prove the severity of your injuries or illness. In the case of illness or disease, you must inform your employer as soon as you discover that your illness is due to your work environment or the activities your employer pays you to perform. When you seek medical attention, be sure to tell the doctor that you injury is work-related.

Obstacles Workers Often Face When Filing Workers’ Compensation Claims

Filing a workers’ compensation claim involves various challenges that can delay or diminish legitimate benefits. Understanding these common obstacles will help you recognize when you need legal support. They include:

• Employer disputes about injury location and timing: Many employers attempt to deny claims by questioning whether the injury occurred at work. Our attorneys document workplace incidents through witness testimony and available surveillance footage.
• Insurance companies claiming preexisting conditions: Insurance carriers often attribute new injuries to preexisting conditions, arguing that your injury stems from past incidents rather than workplace accidents. We work with medical professionals to establish clear causation.
• Disputes over injury severity: Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize injury seriousness to reduce compensation. Our firm builds strong medical documentation to support your claim.
• Challenges to necessary medical treatment: Workers face resistance when doctors recommend specific treatments. Insurance carriers may claim therapies are not medically necessary. We fight for your right to proper medical care.
• Pressure for premature return to work: Many injured workers face pressure to return before full recovery. We protect your right to complete medical treatment before resuming work duties.

These obstacles should not prevent you from receiving fair compensation. Our legal team has the experience to protect your rights throughout the claims process.
