If you are injured from an accident on the job or develop an occupational disease, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. 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 worker's compensation lawyer to oversee your worker's compensation claim so that you can receive full and fair compensation for your injury or occupational disease. For over 25 years, Willoner, Calabrese & Rosen, P.A., in College Park, Maryland, has been helping injured workers stand up to insurance companies, employers and governments.

On-the-job Injuries, Workplace Accidents and Occupational Disease Claims

People injured or affected by a disease while on the job enjoy certain rights under the worker's compensation laws in Maryland. They may be entitled to medical care and compensation for lost wages. Under worker's compensation laws, 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 worker's compensation attorneys deal with many different types of workplace accident cases, including:

  • Head, neck, shoulder and back injuries
  • Carpal Tunnel and other repetitive stress injuries (RSI)
  • Tennis elbow and epicondylitis
  • DeQuervain's Syndrome
  • Regional Pain Disorder (RSD) and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals
  • Temporary or permanent disability
  • Total or partial disability
  • Insurance claims
  • Restoring worker's compensation benefits
  • Vocational rehabilitation

All persons injured at work should consult with a worker's compensation lawyer. Far too often workers rely on insurance agencies or companies to handle their claims directly. Unfortunately, many times these claims never get filed or are filed incorrectly. There is a time limit for starting a claim of this type which our attorneys are knowledgeable about.

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 claim properly and make sure you receive the benefits you are entitled to.

All attorney's fees in a Maryland workers' compensation claim must be approved by the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission.

Injury Claims under FELA

Maryland’s worker's compensation laws do not cover railroad workers and other federal employees — they are covered under the Federal Employer Liability Act (FELA). As federal government workers, the burden of proof for any injury they may suffer while on the job rests with them. 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.

Whether you work behind a desk, at a construction site or repairing railroad ties, if you’re injured while performing your job, or you are hurt in another personal injury matter, our dedicated attorneys are ready to counsel, comfort and provide you with aggressive representation to help you get all the fair compensation you deserve for injures sustained in your workplace.
