Maryland Workers' Compensation Benefit Rates

If you have been injured during your employment you are entitled to seek benefits. This is where a Maryland workers compensation lawyer can assist you getting benefits from your employer's workers' compensation insurance policy. This is not suing your employer. It is simply applying for insurance benefits. It is functionally no different then applying for health care under the employer's health insurance policy. Except in Maryland workers' compensation insurance claims you have to show you were injured during work. Also, the benefits are different. Under the Maryland workers' compensation policy you are entitled to medical treatment paid for by the workers compensation insurer and you are also entitled to lost wages, and a permanency award and vocational rehabilitation, if necessary. The first this to do when you are injured is tell your supervisor you were injured at work. Next file your injury claim with the workers compensation commission. This is not the same as reporting the claim to the employer's workers compensation insurance company. many people make that mistake. They think that reporting the claim and getting an insurance company claim number is the same as filing the claim with the workers compensation commission. it is not the same. You must also file the claim with the workers compensation commission. This is very important. If you do not file the claim with the workers compensation commission you can be barred from bring eh claim. There is a statute of limitations on filing your claim with the workers compensation commission. The very best advise I can give you is "call my office". If you say no I do not trust this guy then that is fine but you need to call a lawyer that practices workers compensation law in Maryland to be sure your rights are protected.
