Notice and Limitations in Maryland Workers Compensation

Like every other area of the law Maryland workers compensation law also has notice and limitation requirements. Generally, if you miss a notice requirement the other side can claim you have hurt their ability to defend the case and as such you should not be permitted to get benefits. When you miss a limitations period you can be barred from pursuing your claim in total. In Maryland workers compensation law there are several limitation periods. One for accident injury (60 days Lab and Empl 9-709 (a) and (b), excused to 2 years for lack of prejudice), one for occupational disease (2 years from the date of disablement 9-711 (a) or 3 years for pulmonary dust disease); one for death benefits (18 months 9-710 (b); and one for worsening (5 years from the date of the last check in compensation for lost wage or permanency award). My advise is when you get injured report the injury to your supervisor and the next thing to do is call my office. 1-888-760-7339.

Accidents happen, and that's a huge part of my worker's compensation is a big deal. My husband was severely injured in a workplace accident, and we got nothing from his ex employer. We're in need of a lawyer. http://www.jjovanovic.com.au/workers-compensation

I'm really happy that the law does protect the working man. I know people that have gotten injured at work and would have no way to pay the medical bills. Thankfully, their workers' compensation covered the charges. http://thompsonlegalservices.net/Services.html
