Workplace Accidents in Maryland

At Serafini Law, we represent injured workers from a variety of different industries and fields. We can help you investigate and file a claim for a broad range of workplace accidents, such as:

• Construction accidents
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Heavy machinery accidents
• Falls from heights
• Crushing accidents
• Forklift crashes
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals

If you have been injured in one of these accidents, you should be sure to report it to your employer as soon as possible. This is important for the claims process, since if you wait too long to notify your employer, your request for workers' compensation could be denied.

Not all workplace injuries can be traced back to a single "incident." If you suffered an injury caused by repetitive stress or contracted an occupational illness, you could be eligible for workers' compensation.

What Payment Can I Receive From a Workers' Compensation Claim?

A workers' compensation claim can cover all of the medical treatment deemed medically necessary for your recovery. This can cover the cost of surgeries, visits to a doctor, medication, and ongoing physical therapy.

The old adage of "time is money" is especially true in regard to workers' compensation claims. Every day you spend unable to work while recovering is a day of lost wages—thankfully, workers' compensation can address this as well.

By petitioning for workers' compensation, you can get different disability benefits depending on your condition. Disability benefits in Maryland are classified as "temporary or permanent" and "partial or total." For instance, if you are able to work in a reduced capacity while you are still recovering from your injury, you could receive temporary partial disability benefits. On the other hand, if you are left completely unable to work due to a lifelong disability, you could obtain permanent total disability benefits.

Disability benefits in Maryland are paid out based on a percentage of your weekly wages. At Serafini Law, we can help you petition for maximum compensation for your losses.

What Is a Third-Party Injury Claim?

If you have been injured due to the negligence of someone other than your employer, you may be able to recover compensation for your damages through a third-party injury claim. Payment in a third-party injury claim can cover your lost wages, medical expenses, property damage, and even non-economic damages like your pain and suffering.

The important thing to understand about a third-party injury claim is that, unlike a workers' compensation claim, you must supply proof of the other party's fault. This will require a thorough investigation into the accident, which an attorney can handle on your behalf.
