Workers Compensation Claims

Maryland was the first state to implement worker’s compensation laws, ensuring that employees injured while on the job qualify for benefits under the insurance coverage carried by employers. While this should make many feel confident in their ability to receive medical and financial benefits after suffering an accident at work, many employers and insurance providers contest worker’s compensation claims.

When it comes to a situation in which you or a loved one are injured on the job, or suffer physically as a result of this job, you need the help of our Maryland worker’s compensation attorney in Greenbelt, MD.
