Workplace injuries disrupt your income, health, and sense of security. In Montgomery County, injured employees may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits that provide medical care and partial wage replacement. If your employer or insurer challenges your claim—or you're unsure whether you’re eligible—a Montgomery County workers’ compensation lawyer can guide you through the process and help protect your rights.

Workers’ compensation operates differently from personal injury claims. You do not need to prove fault. However, not every injury qualifies, and delays in filing or reporting can harm your case. Knowing your op tions early makes a difference, especially when employers or insurance carriers try to minimize their responsibility.

Nearly any physical or occupational injury sustained while working may be covered as long as it arises from and during employment. This includes sudden trauma and conditions that develop over time. Certain psychological injuries may also qualify if linked to a specific event.

In Montgomery County, common workplace injuries include:

• Back injuries from lifting or falls in retail, warehousing, or construction jobs;
• Repetitive stress conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome among office workers;
• Burns and electric shock among electricians, roofers, and kitchen staff;
• Falls from ladders or scaffolding on commercial and residential construction sites; and
• Crush injuries from malfunctioning equipment on factory floors or in landscaping work.

These conditions may lead to lost wages, ongoing therapy, or permanent impairment. Filing a claim promptly and seeking proper medical care improves your chances of receiving the full benefits the law allows.

A successful workers’ compensation claim can provide:

• Payment for medical treatment, including surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation;
• Temporary Total Disability (TTD) benefits if you cannot work;
• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) benefits if you return to a lower-paying job;
• Permanent Partial or Total Disability if your injury results in long-term impairment; and
• Vocational rehabilitation services in cases involving career change.

You do not receive compensation for pain and suffering under this system. That’s one key difference from personal injury law. A third-party claim might also be available if another person or company—separate from your employer—contributed to your injury. For instance, if you were driving to work and were hit by a negligent driver, our Montgomery County car accident lawyers may be able to pursue an additional claim on your behalf.

Employers and their insurance carriers do not always agree with your version of events. Disputes often arise over whether an injury was work-related, whether a worker can return to duty, or whether the treatment sought is necessary. A Montgomery County workers’ compensation attorney can challenge unfair denials, prepare for hearings before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission, and negotiate a settlement that addresses your needs.

We’ve seen employers claim an employee was acting outside the scope of their job or that preexisting conditions are to blame. In other situations, insurers delay approving care or push workers back into unsafe roles. With legal support, you stand a better chance of holding them accountable.
