Maryland Workers’ Compensation Law
Your employer is required to pay you certain benefits if you are injured on the job in Maryland. The three most common are: (1) two-thirds of your average weekly wage; (2) medical expenses caused by the work-related accident; and (3) permanent disability benefits.
Seems pretty simple. Unfortunately, insurance company involvement can complicate your case, and that’s why I’m here. I will bring the experience of fighting for the rights of injured workers and their families for more than 17 years to your case.
If your employer or insurance company fights any part of your claim, you have the right to have your cases decided by the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission. First, you must file a claim with the Commission within two years of the injury. Then you need an attorney with a strong track record of success to help you get your benefits.
You can find plenty of attorneys who practice workers’ compensation in Maryland, but what makes my approach different than the rest is my passion for workers’ rights. My grandfather was a union worker when unions were just starting in the 1930’s, and my parents were members of the teachers’ union. Frequently, I read how union membership and protections are in decline. I have represented hundreds of union and non-union workers over the years, and am grateful that the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Act provides all workers with basic wage and medical protections.
I will act quickly to work with the carrier to get your benefits without having to go to a hearing. If that fails, I have tried hundreds of hearings in front of the Commission and will do everything possible to get your benefits as soon as possible.
Contact me so that together, we can file a claim, and protect your rights under the law.
