Workers’ Compensation Laws in Cecil County, MD
In Maryland, employers must provide workers’ compensation benefits to their employees. Maryland Code § 9-101 states the types of situations where an employee could recover workers’ compensation benefits. They include:
- The employees sustained injuries during their hours of employment.
- The employee sustained the injuries because of someone else’s negligence in the workplace.
- If an employee develops a disease because of exposure while at the workplace. This could also include heatstroke, frostbite, or other issues related to the conditions of the workplace environment.
If the employee’s injury meets these requirements, they could file a workers’ compensation claim. Just because an employee files a workers’ compensation claim does not guarantee they will receive benefits. This is why it’s helpful to have a workers’ compensation attorney by your side to ensure you filed a claim correctly. We can also help ensure you’ve included all the necessary evidence needed.

You Could Potentially File a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Did a third-party cause your workplace injury? If so, you could file a personal injury lawsuit against them. Third-party liability could arise when an individual or entity that is separate from your employer caused the accident. Filing a personal injury lawsuit can help if the workers’ compensation benefits aren’t enough to cover your losses. Examples of damages you could recover through a personal injury lawsuit include:
- Medical bills: We can seek recovery for any out-of-pocket cost you had to pay to treat your injuries. Examples of medical care could include emergency room fees, ambulance rides, hospitalizations, surgeries, prescription medication, diagnostic tests, and doctor’s visits.
- Lost income: Sometimes, workers’ compensation benefits only cover part of your lost income. Through a personal injury claim, you may recover compensation for your lost wages. You could even receive compensation for future lost income if you cannot return to work in the same capacity because of your injuries.
- Physical and mental pain and suffering: If your injuries cause substantial physical or mental pain, you may recover compensation through a personal injury claim. Since these damages don’t have a monetary loss, our attorneys can help calculate their value.
Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101 states you have three years from the date of the accident to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
