Work injury Attorney Frederick, MD

Can I get fired for filing a work injury claim?

No, you cannot be fired for filing a work-related injury claim in Maryland. Employees are protected from retaliation under state and federal laws when they exercise their workers' compensation rights. Filing a claim after a workplace accident is a legal right, and companies are not allowed to retaliate against employees by terminating, demoting, or reducing their working hours.

At Blank Kim Injury Law, we recognize that injured workers frequently fear reprisal, but it is critical to fight for your health and financial future. If your employer attempts to fire or retaliate against you after you make a claim, this may constitute wrongful termination or retaliation, and you may be able to pursue a separate legal action.

While an employer may still fire an employee for valid business reasons unrelated to the injury claim, demonstrating the motivation for the termination is where legal representation comes in. If you are concerned about your job security after filing a claim, Blank Kim Injury Law in Frederick, MD can assist. We will walk you through the claims procedure, safeguard your legal rights, and take fast action if retaliation happens. Contact us today for a discreet, no-obligation consultation.

Can I see my own doctor following a workplace injury? 
 
Yes, in most situations, you can see your own doctor following a workplace injury in Maryland. However, you must follow precise requirements to ensure that your therapy is covered by workers' compensation. 
 
Following a workplace accident, you have the right to choose your own treating physician under Maryland law. However, it is critical to notify your employer of your choice of doctor and check that the doctor is authorized to offer workers' compensation care. If you seek care from a doctor who is not authorized, you may be unable to obtain your full benefits. 
 
At Blank Kim Injury Law, we can assist you in ensuring that your doctor is properly listed with the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission, as well as guiding you through the steps necessary to assure coverage for your treatment. If your employer or insurance company disagrees with your doctor pick, we will assist you in resolving the situation.
