Workers' Compensation We are Willing to do Whatever it Takes to Recover the Compensation You Deserve

Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Waldorf, Maryland

By law, employers are required to provide all employees, both full and part-time, with a safe working environment. To ensure that employees are being protected, employers must provide their workforces with workers’ compensation.

The system, however, is imperfect and our workers’ compensation attorneys in Waldorf, Maryland at the Law Office of Robert Castro understand that insurance companies can make it difficult for you to receive adequate and fair compensation.

When this happens, it is important for you to seek legal advice from experienced Maryland workers’ compensation attorneys who will fight for your rights and the outcome you deserve for your unique circumstances.

Our Maryland Workers’ Compensation Laws are very different from other states, so no matter what you have heard or what you believe they should cover our experienced workers’ compensation lawyers in Maryland will provide a straightforward outline of what the law provides, and how we can pursue the coverage you are entitled to based on those distinctions.

What are the Most Common Types of Workers’ Compensation Accidents in Waldorf, Maryland?

To pursue a workers’ compensation claim, we must prove your injuries happened during the course of your employment. While that seems like it would be the standard for all workers’ compensation claims, Maryland, our state’s language is very direct and will be fully explained to each of our clients so they can make informed decisions about the direction of their cases.

Some of the most common types of workers’ compensation accidents may include:

Crushed by or against injuries
Crane collapses
Falls from scaffolding or other heights
Forklift accidents
Hit by falling objects
Motor vehicle accidents
Malfunctioning or improperly guarded machinery

Maritime injuries occurring onshore or offshore

Getting hurt at work can lead to long-term medical care, extensive time away from work, and out-of-pocket expenses that leave you in financial jeopardy. Do not let your at-work injury define your future. Contact our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys in Charles County today to learn how we can help you discover the necessary solutions to achieve full financial recovery.

What are the Most Common Types of Workers’ Compensation Injuries in Waldorf, Maryland?

What Type of Workers’ Compensation Can I Pursue After an Injury in Waldorf, Maryland?

Getting your life back on track after an at-work injury may seem like an extremely long journey when the insurance company is delaying, devaluing, or denying your workers’ compensation claim.

At the Law Office of Robert Castro, our workers’ compensation lawyers in Maryland & Washington DC pursue financial recovery for each of our client’s unique needs.

They may include:

Hospital bills and medical expenses
Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and retraining costs

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys in Waldorf, Maryland

Do I Have to Prove My Employer Was Negligent to Pursue Workers’ Compensation in Waldorf, Maryland?

Under our Maryland workers’ compensation laws, employees do not have to prove their employer was at fault for their injuries, just that the injury occurred during the course of their employment.

If My Waldorf, Maryland Workers’ Compensation Attorney Reaches a Settlement, How Quickly Can I Be Paid?

After a settlement is reached by our Maryland workers’ compensation lawyers, the workers’ compensation insurer has 15 days to send a check for the agreed-upon amount.

What Amount of Your Average Wages Does Maryland Workers’ Compensation Cover?

The benefits paid by workers’ compensation are typically two-thirds of the injured party’s average weekly wage. Other benefits may include medical care, additional therapy coverage, and financial compensation for your unique circumstances and overall needs.

What is the Statute of Limitations to Seek Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Maryland?

Workers’ compensation claims are very different than other personal injury claims, which allow victims up to three years to file a claim.

Workers’ compensation in Maryland has very strict deadlines, including the requirement that the employer is notified within ten days from the date of the injury, and notification of the Workers’ Compensation Commission within 60 days. Occupational diseases and deaths have different timelines, and we can help ensure you meet those deadlines as well, so you can pursue the compensation you deserve.

If All Maryland Employers are Required to Carry Workers’ Compensation Coverage, Why Would I Need an Attorney?

Maryland’s Workers’ Compensation Laws have very specific language that may allow insurance companies to deny coverage, simply by citing some of the confusing languages in their policies. Our workers’ compensation attorneys in Maryland have five decades of combined experience in aggressively pursuing these claims, which gives the insurance company very little room to delay, devalue, or deny our clients’ rights to financial recovery.
