Maryland Workers' Compensation Attorney
Are you searching for a Workers Compensation Lawyer in MD, DC or NOVA?
If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. The Maryland workers’ compensation lawyers at Cohen & Cohen, P.C. represent injured workers trying to recover medical expenses and lost capacity to earn wages from their employers. Our workers’ compensation attorneys have handled all types of workers' compensation claims and can help you determine what benefits you may be entitled to, or whether you may be entitled to compensation. Not everyone injured on the job, however, is entitled to benefits, nor are they limited to just workers' compensation benefits.
A workers’ compensation lawsuit focuses on the reimbursement of medical expenses during the healing period. Generally, any reasonably necessary medical expense will be covered, including surgical, hospital and nursing services, prescription medication, and sometimes, travel of more than ten miles one way for medical appointments. Under some circumstances, injured employees can obtain payment of future medical expenses for treatment related to the on-the-job injury, potentially for life.
In addition to medical expenses, our workers’ compensation attorneys will work to secure payment of disability benefits to those employees injured so seriously they cannot work or are limited in work they can do. The amount of disability compensation received is directly related to the injured employee's gross, or pre-tax, earnings before the injury. For those employees unfortunate enough to have sustained a permanent injury, additional disability compensation may be available. If death results, benefits are payable to a surviving spouse and dependents.
The workers’ compensation attorneys at Cohen & Cohen, P.C. realize how important it is for an injured worker to protect his or her earning capacity.
