Do I need to prove my employer was at fault for my injury?
Maryland workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means you do not need to prove fault in your claim. In most cases where someone is hurt during their time working, they more than likely qualify for workers’ compensation.
What should I do immediately after a work injury?
There are some steps you should always take after a workplace injury, including seeking necessary medical attention, reporting the injury to your employer and contacting us for the guidance you need. We can offer you guidance and advice, like telling your doctor your accident happened at work and never downplaying the severity of the injuries you sustained.
Can I get fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim?
The law protects you from retaliation of any kind for filing for workers’ compensation. If your employer fires you, harasses you, moves you to difficult shifts or otherwise punishes you for filing for workers’ comp, we can help hold them accountable for their actions.
What if my employer does not fulfill their end of my workers’ compensation claim?
If your employer is in any way resistant to your workers’ compensation claim, be sure to document everything they are or are not doing. Additionally, provide your employer with a written account of your accident and resulting injuries and ask them to sign and date it. If they still refuse, we can help you reach out to the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission and take the next steps that can lead to penalties for your employer.
Virtually every type of work-related injury is covered by workers’ compensation. Learn more about common types of Maryland workers’ compensation injuries.
Do I need a workers’ compensation lawyer to get all my benefits?
While you may be entitled to workers’ compensation, it is often necessary to seek legal representation to secure the full benefits you deserve. We understand how complicated the process can be, especially when you are dealing with your injuries, and we can use our extensive experience to handle your claim for you.
