If you are injured due to an accident on the job or develop an occupational disease, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Act quickly — you should promptly report the incident to your employer, see a doctor and consult with an attorney as soon as possible, as there are certain time limitations on these claims. It is important to contact a workers' compensation lawyer to ensure you understand your rights and make sure that you receive full and fair compensation.
Employers and their insurance companies rarely have your best interests in mind when you are injured at work. Contact us today to discuss your case at a no-cost initial consultation. We will not charge you anything unless we are able to get you the benefits you are entitled to. Put us on your side.

On-the-job Injuries ∙ Workplace Accidents ∙ Occupational Disease
People injured or affected by a disease while on the job have certain rights under the workers' compensation laws in Maryland. Under workers' compensation law, you are entitled to certain benefits for workplace injuries including medical expenses, lost wages, and money for permanent disability, regardless of fault.
Our highly skilled workers' compensation attorneys deal with many different types of workplace accident cases, including construction site accidents, slips and falls at work, and other serious workplace accidents. Common work injury cases we handle include:
- Head, neck, shoulder and back injuries
- Carpal Tunnel and other repetitive stress injuries (RSI)
- Tennis elbow and epicondylitis
- DeQuervain's Syndrome
- Regional Pain Disorder (RPD) and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
- Toxic chemical exposure
- Other serious on-the-job injury
Whether you need assistance filing your initial claim for benefits or need help restoring workers' compensation benefits that have been terminated, we have the experience to professionally handle your claim. We can help you document and prepare a solid claim to ensure you recover full workers' compensation benefits, including benefits for vocational rehabilitation and attorney's fees. Your benefits may vary depending on whether you have a temporary or permanent disability, or a total or partial disability. However, with an experienced attorney on your side, you can ensure your claim is documented and filed appropriately.
You may also be entitled to additional benefits if your condition worsens since you last received benefits. There are conditions that must be met before you can reopen your claim and it is important to consult with an attorney so as not to jeopardize your claim. We can help you reopen your work injury claim properly and make sure you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
Injury Claims under FELA for Railroad Workers
Maryland's workers' compensation laws do not cover railroad workers — these individuals are covered under the Federal Employer Liability Act (FELA). Our experienced injury lawyers assist workers with full incident investigations, time-consuming paperwork, filing deadlines and other complex procedures involved in submitting a proper claim for proof and payment of due benefits under the Federal Employer Liability Act for railroad injuries. If we can't get fair compensation for your claim, we will file suit in the appropriate court.
