How Workers’ Compensation Insurance Benefits You
Workers’ compensation is insurance your employer has to enable employees to be compensated for any injuries they may have sustained while working. If you have been injured on the job or while performing work-related activities, you can file a claim under this workers’ compensation insurance. It includes payment for your medical expenses, such as physical therapy, doctor visits, and prescriptions. If you miss more than 3 days of work, you may also receive benefits to replace your loss of income.
If you have been injured, you should tell your employer right away. Then you can file a claim with the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission to recover compensation for your injuries. Filing a worker compensation claim will not affect your employment status.

Starting with your free consultation, our experienced attorneys will help you pursue the appropriate type of workers compensation benefit and help you with each aspect of your workers’ compensation case from start to finish, including:
- Establishing the injury was in fact a workplace injury (often employers and the insurance companies allege that injuries or occupational illnesses do not relate to your work). Fine, Grzech, Kelly & MacMeekin will gather the relevant medical and factual evidence to support your claim.
- To ensure your claim was handled correctly, once you notify your employer of your work-related injury or illness, our attorneys will ensure your forms and medical releases are filed promptly and correctly.
- Ensure payment for medical costs and lost wages. Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer will usually cover all medical costs related to your injury or illness. We will be your advocate to support your rights if your claim is being challenged or denied.
- Death benefits may also be available if a relative tragically died due to a work accident.
Workers’ compensation is a state-mandated no-fault insurance program that most employers must participate in, so if you were injured on the job and eligible for workers’ compensation, our experienced legal team will explain how the law applies to your situation and help you get the benefits you need.
