Workers' Compensation Lawyer Practicing Nationwide and Licensed in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Florida
Workplace Injury Claims and Third-Party Lawsuits
Injuries at work can interrupt your income and force you into difficult economic circumstances. Decisions you make immediately after your injury can limit your ability to recover full damages.
If you were injured on the job — even through your own fault — your medical bills and lost wages are covered by your employer's workers' compensation insurance. Prompt and aggressive legal representation by the Law Office of Susan R. Green can prevent your claim from being compromised by claims adjusters bent on denying or limiting your benefits. We also pursue lawsuits against any third parties (other than your employer or co-workers) whose negligence caused a workplace accident.
Call our Towson, Maryland, law firm today to discuss your workplace injury. Representing workers in the Baltimore area and statewide, we have a great track record for appealing denied claims and getting clients qualified for all applicable benefits. Examples of cases we've handled:
- Falls or ladder and scaffolding accidents
- Equipment failure
- Machinery accidents
- Industrial accidents
- Construction accidents
- On-duty vehicle accidents
- Back and shoulder injuries from lifting
- Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Occupational disease (cancer or other illness from exposure to toxic materials)
- Fatal accidents
We work hard to ensure clients are compensated not only for inability to work, but additional benefits for a permanent injury or disfigurement. Many insurers will not volunteer these benefits unless you have legal representation.
Third-Party Claims
Employees who accept workers' compensation benefits cannot sue their employer, although in some cases, a suit may be brought against a third party. We have secured workplace injury settlements and verdicts against manufacturers, property owners, contractors and automobile drivers.
Don't Be Intimidated
The biggest mistake workplace injury victims make is to trust that the employer is looking out for their interests. The employers' preferred doctors often do not provide appropriate treatment or push workers to return to work before they are healed. The long-term impact can be a lifetime of related health issues. You have the right to see any doctor you choose, and to return to work when your doctor says you're ready. Your boss cannot fire you for filing a claim or refusing to come back.
If an employer is attempting to deny your entitled benefits, or you believe you may have grounds to sue another party for negligence, contact the Law Office of Susan R. Green at 866.705.4407.
