Maryland Workplace Injury

Workplace injuries are a reality for many employees across various industries in Maryland. These injuries can range from minor incidents to severe accidents that require long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation. Understanding Maryland’s workers’ compensation laws and knowing your rights as an injured worker is essential for securing the benefits you deserve. The Law Offices of Steinhardt, Siskind, and Lieberman, LLC, can help injured workers navigate these complexities to ensure they receive the compensation and care they need.

Common Jobs That Cause Workplace Injury

Maryland has a diverse economy, with several industries that present varying levels of risk for workplace injuries. Here are some of the most common jobs in the state where workers are most prone to accidents and injuries:

Construction Workers

Construction sites are hazardous by nature, involving heavy machinery, heights, electrical systems, and more. Workers face risks of falls, equipment malfunctions, and accidents with vehicles like forklifts and cranes.

Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare workers, including nurses, doctors, and aides, are at risk of injury from lifting patients, exposure to hazardous materials, or accidental needle sticks. Long hours and high stress also increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

Warehouse & Manufacturing Employees

Warehouse and factory workers often perform repetitive tasks and heavy lifting, which can lead to injuries like strains, sprains, and chronic conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. These jobs also pose risks of slips, trips, falls, and accidents involving machinery.

Commercial Drivers

Truck drivers and delivery personnel are exposed to hazards like vehicle collisions, long hours behind the wheel, and unloading heavy cargo. These jobs often result in injuries related to accidents or repetitive stress from handling goods.

Public Safety Officers

Police officers, firefighters, and other first responders face life-threatening situations on the job. Their injuries often result from physical confrontations, exposure to dangerous environments, and vehicle accidents.

Retail and Food Service Workers

While not as obvious as some high-risk jobs, retail and food service workers can experience injuries from slips and falls, lifting heavy objects, or repetitive strain from standing for long periods and handling inventory.

Common Types of Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can vary depending on the type of job and the working conditions. However, certain types of injuries are more common across all industries:

Back Injuries: Lifting heavy objects or repetitive strain can lead to herniated discs, pulled muscles, or long-term chronic pain in the back.
Fractures and Broken Bones: Accidents such as falls, machinery malfunctions, or being struck by heavy objects can result in fractures.
Head Injuries: Falling objects, slips, or trips can lead to traumatic brain injuries or concussions.
Burns: Workers in manufacturing or food service industries are at risk of burns from machinery, chemicals, or hot surfaces.
Repetitive Stress Injuries: Jobs that require repetitive motions, like typing or lifting, can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis.
Hearing Loss: Exposure to loud machinery in factories or construction sites can cause permanent hearing damage if proper precautions aren’t taken.
Occupational Illnesses: Workers exposed to harmful chemicals or substances over time may develop respiratory issues, skin conditions, or long-term diseases like cancer.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury

If you are injured at work, taking the following steps can protect your health and your rights:

Report the Injury: Inform your employer as soon as possible after the injury occurs. Maryland law requires employees to report their injury within 10 days to ensure eligibility for workers’ comp benefits.
Seek Medical Attention: Get medical treatment immediately, even if the injury seems minor. A medical professional can properly diagnose and document your injury.
File a Workers’ Comp Claim: Your employer should provide you with the necessary forms to file a workers’ compensation claim. Make sure to complete these forms and submit them promptly.
Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions: Comply with your medical treatment plan and attend all follow-up appointments to avoid jeopardizing your claim.
Consult with a Workers’ Compensation Attorney: If your claim is denied or you encounter challenges during the process, consult a workers’ comp attorney to protect your rights.

Maryland Workers’ Compensation Laws

Maryland’s workers’ compensation laws provide financial benefits to employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses. Workers’ comp covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs, offering a crucial safety net for injured workers.

Who Is Eligible for Workers’ Compensation in Maryland?

All employers in Maryland are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. Any employee who suffers an injury while performing job duties, regardless of fault, is generally eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. This includes both full-time and part-time employees, as well as seasonal workers.

Types of Benefits Available

Maryland workers’ compensation offers several types of benefits to injured workers:

Medical Benefits: Coverage for medical treatment related to the injury or illness, including hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and physical therapy.
Wage Replacement: Partial wage replacement if the injury causes the worker to miss work. This includes temporary total disability (TTD) and temporary partial disability (TPD) payments.
Permanent Disability Benefits: If the injury leads to a long-term or permanent impairment, the worker may be eligible for compensation based on the severity of the disability.
Vocational Rehabilitation: If the injury prevents the worker from returning to their previous job, workers’ compensation may cover vocational training or assistance in finding new employment.
Death Benefits: If a worker dies as a result of a work-related injury, the worker’s dependents may be entitled to death benefits.

Maryland Personal Injury Lawyers

When you are injured because of the negligence of another, Maryland and general principles of justice support your right to be compensated by the negligent party for your legal damages, which may include present and future medical expenses, present and future lost income, pain and suffering, mental distress, loss of quality of life and other damages. However, the burden falls on you to prove that the other party was negligent, that their negligence caused your injuries, and that your injuries and damages are as serious as you say they are. Negligent defendants and their insurance companies may hit back hard claiming the accident was your own fault, or that you are not really seriously injured. If they can show that you were in any way at fault in causing the accident, you can be kept from recovering any compensation at all. Let us take on the insurance companies on your behalf and fight to see that you get the compensation you deserve.
