Maryland Work-Related Injury Lawyer

Injured on the job?

No setting is free from the possibility of accidents and injuries. There are places, however, where these accidents are common and where they pose unique legal issues. When it comes to suffering an injury or illness on the job, injured workers have certain legal rights that they can exercise to receive the compensation they need to recover. Filing workers’ compensationclaims, for example, can allow victims to obtain wage replacement and medical benefits.

While work-related injuries can occur in nearly any employment sector, workers in the construction, industrial, manufacturing, offshore oil and gas and transportation industries generally face the greatest risks of injuries and fatalities, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Regardless of the industry in which on-the-job accidents take place, workers who are injured in a work-related accident often have the right to receive benefits.

What injuries are covered by workers’ compensation?

In the state of Maryland, the harm suffered by a worker must have been caused by anaccidental personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment in order for the injury to be covered by workers’ compensation. Getting hurt in the workplace may not always be sufficient for workers’ comp to apply. Importantly, if a worker is diagnosed with certain occupational diseases including asbestos-related lung diseases, then he or she may also be entitled to workers’ comp benefits.
