Work injury attorney Baltimore, MD

Can I sue my employer for workplace injuries?

In most circumstances, Maryland's workers' compensation system prohibits employees from suing their employers directly for workplace injuries. Instead, injured workers can submit a workers' compensation claim to receive payments for medical expenses, lost income, and disability. However, there are several circumstances in which suing an employer may be appropriate. If your damage was caused by your employer's willful harm or gross negligence that went beyond usual working dangers, you may be able to file a lawsuit. Furthermore, if a third party, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, was responsible for your injuries, you may be able to file a separate personal injury claim against them.

At Blank Kim Injury Law, we assist injured workers in exploring all legal alternatives. If workers' compensation is insufficient or your situation warrants extra legal action, our expert attorneys will fight for the money you deserve.

Can I still get workers' compensation if I return to work? 
 
Depending on your circumstances, you may still be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if you return to work. If you are able to work but have limitations due to your injury, you may be eligible for partial disability payments to offset the difference between your pre-injury wages and your decreased earnings. If your company accommodates your constraints while paying you less than before, workers' compensation can assist supplement your income. 
 
However, if you return to work earning the same or more than before your injury, your wage-loss benefits may be terminated, but medical benefits for future treatment may continue. It is critical to follow your doctor's advice and avoid returning to work early, as this may affect your benefits. At Blank Kim Injury Law, we assist injured workers in navigating their workers' compensation claims and ensuring they obtain the maximum benefits they are entitled to.
