Types Of Workers’ Compensation Claims We Can Guide You Through

Workplace injuries happen in different ways. Our attorneys have helped many Maryland residents file workers’ compensation claims involving a wide range of job-related accidents and injuries. This includes:

Construction Accidents

Construction sites pose serious risks to workers every day. Our construction accident lawyers often see injuries from what the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) calls the “Fatal Four” – falls, electrocutions, being struck by objects and getting caught between objects.
We have helped workers file construction injury claims for serious accidents such as:

• Scaffolding collapses and falls
• Ladder accidents
• Crane and heavy machinery incidents
• Equipment malfunctions
• Falls from heights
• Struck-by incidents

Many of these construction site accidents lead to injuries such as severe fractures and traumatic brain injuries, which require extensive medical care and time away from work.

Sometimes, more than one party, aside from your employer, may be responsible for your injury. This can include the manufacturer who made the faulty equipment, other contractors on the job site or the property owner themselves. If someone besides your employer caused your injury, you may be able to file a third-party claim. As your attorneys, we will look into every detail of your case to make sure you receive fair compensation from liable parties.

Site Debris Accidents

Construction sites can quickly become dangerous when debris isn’t properly managed. Whether it’s scattered materials on walkways or falling objects from above, site debris injuries can happen suddenly and cause serious harm. At best, you may walk away with a few cuts and puncture wounds. At worst, you may end up with head trauma or broken bones.

As Workers’ Compensation lawyers, we have seen how these preventable accidents can keep workers off the job for weeks or months. These accidents often happen because someone failed to follow basic safety rules. Tools left on scaffolding can fall and strike workers below. Building materials scattered across walkways create dangerous trip hazards. Even small pieces of debris can cause serious harm when they fall from height or create unsafe walking conditions.

If you’ve suffered a workplace debris injury, you need medical care and time to heal. Our lawyers understand the ins and outs of construction site safety rules. We will work to prove how improper debris management led to your injury and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Defective Workplace Equipment And Machinery

Broken or poorly maintained equipment can result in severe injuries. These include:

• Fingers and hands crushed in moving machine parts or cut off by unguarded blades
• Multiple fractures when scaffolding or heavy equipment collapses
• Third-degree burns from exposed electrical wiring or overheated machinery
• Back and neck injuries from falls caused by broken ladders or platforms
• Brain injuries when tools or materials fall from failing equipment
• Deep cuts from sharp edges or exposed moving parts without proper guards

A defective equipment injury can require multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy. Some workers never fully recover or return to their previous jobs. As your machinery accident lawyers, we will carefully assess your case to find out why the equipment failed. The manufacturer may have made faulty products. Your employer might have ignored crucial maintenance and repairs. Whatever the reason, we will hold them accountable for your workplace equipment injury.

Back Injuries

A back injury can completely disrupt your life. Simple tasks, including putting on clothes, preparing meals or playing with your children, can become painful challenges. Many also struggle with depression and anxiety as they cope with chronic pain and limited mobility.

Back injuries are one of the most common workplace injuries, especially for office workers who spend long hours at their desks. These can include:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Lower back strain
• Pinched nerves
• Muscle sprains
• Spinal compression
• Chronic back pain from repetitive motions

To qualify for workers’ comp for back injuries, you must prove that the injury is work-related. This can happen through a specific incident such as slipping and falling on office property due to poor maintenance. It can also be a result of repetitive stress from daily work activities such as prolonged sitting at a workstation without proper ergonomic support.

As back injury lawyers, we know these cases can be challenging, especially with gradual-onset injuries. Proper medical documentation is crucial. In Maryland, you have the right to choose your own doctor rather than using your employer’s recommended physician. This can make a significant difference in proving your back injury workers’ comp claim.

Electrocution And Electrical Burns

Whether you’re an electrician, construction worker or maintenance professional, contact with live electricity can result in painful injuries such as:

• Third- and fourth-degree burns
• Internal organ damage
• Heart problems and cardiac arrest
• Nerve damage
• Brain injuries from falls after shock

Workplace electrical injuries often happen when workers touch exposed wires, use broken equipment or work near water and electricity. Poor safety rules make these accidents even more likely. For example, missing safety shields can expose workers to live wires, while failing to shut off power during repairs can lead to deadly shocks. The lack of proper training or safety gear puts workers at even greater risk.

While workers’ compensation helps pay for most electrical injuries, you might also receive additional compensation if faulty equipment or another company’s negligent actions caused your injury. A third-party claim could pay damages for what electrical burn workers’ comp may not cover such as your pain and suffering. Our lawyers will fight to get you every dollar you deserve while you focus on healing.
