What A Worker’s Compensation Attorney Does

Workers’ compensation attorneys handle the legal matters that result from workplace injuries. Workers’ compensation is paid to a worker who was injured on the job as part of their employment agreement with their employer. When employers offer health insurance benefits, they also pay for the costs of treatment and rehabilitation arising from work-related injuries. If a worker is unable to return to work following an injury, they may receive benefits such as income replacement and retraining. There are two forms of workers’ compensation: temporary total and permanent partial. Temporary total (TT) provides a certain amount of monthly income for someone who cannot work at all because of an injury or illness. Permanent partial (PP) compensates employees for lost wages after recovering from an injury. A few states provide a third form of workers’ compensation known as disability benefit coverage (DBC). DBC covers some individuals who have disabilities unrelated to their jobs but which affect their ability to earn a living wage elsewhere. It is typically paid in lieu of long-term disability payments that would otherwise be available through private plans like Social Security Disability Insurance.

Workers’ Comp Benefits Explained

You need an attorney because this is not an area in which you want to take risks. Workers’ Comp is a complex field that has its own set of rules and regulations. An attorney who has experience with Maryland workers’ comp settlements may be able to help you get the settlement you deserve for your injuries and any resulting damages, such as pain and suffering. He or she will work on both sides of the case: by collecting all evidence necessary to prove what happened, but also by negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of their clients.

Maryland Workers’ Comp Laws & Statutes

Maryland’s Workers’ Compensation Act, commonly referred to as the MWC Act, is designed to protect employees in Maryland from work-related injuries. The MWC Act does not apply to independent contractors, self-employed individuals and doctors or those who are injured in the course of their own employment for the employer.

Maryland Workers’ Compensation Act § 10-601 states that a worker is eligible for medical treatment and benefits if he or she has suffered a personal injury arising out of and during employment in which the hazard that led to the injury was not created by him or her; with exceptions where contact with energized electrical equipment could be involved.

Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout. She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you, Nicole and the entire Cohen & Cohen team, for your dedication and outstanding work!
