Howard County Workers' Compensation Lawyer

As the first state to enact a workers' compensation law, Maryland was a leader in protecting the rights of injured workers. After the Maryland Workers' Compensation Act was signed into law, the remaining states across the nation soon followed suit. Early laws enabled employees who were hurt while performing job duties to obtain needed financial compensation for their injuries without having to wait for the completion of a lawsuit. By providing a no-fault remedy to workplace injuries, the laws also protected employers from unnecessary litigation. However, workers' compensation laws can be difficult to understand, and sometimes, injured employees are unfairly denied the benefits due to them. If you have been injured at work and your benefits claim has been denied, consult a Howard County workers' compensation lawyer who can help you obtain the compensation you deserve.


Howard County Workers' Compensation Attorney Providing Skillful Representation


Most employees who suffer an accidental personal injury at work or who contract an occupational illness are eligible for workers' compensation benefits including medical expenses, wage reimbursement, job rehabilitation, and more. However, there are certain factors which may allow an employer's insurer to deny your claim. For example, independent contractors are not covered under workers' compensation law. Not all accidents occurring at work may qualify for workers' comp benefits, either. Under the law, an eligible injury is "an accidental personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment." In an attempt to refuse benefits, an employer and its insurer may dispute employment status, causal relationship between the accident and injuries, or that the injury occurred while performing job duties. Because employers' insurance companies will generally support their arguments with legal representation from experienced attorneys, it is important that any employee fighting to obtain benefits also seek representation from a knowledgeable Howard County workers' compensation attorney.
