Common Types of Maryland Workplace Injuries and Accidents

Workplace injuries in Maryland can occur in any job, whether you’re working at a construction site, in an office, or on the road. Here are a few common types of accidents we often see:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Whether it’s a wet floor or cluttered walkway, slip and fall accidents can lead to serious injuries.
• Repetitive Strain Injuries: Doing the same motions over and over, like typing or lifting, can result in painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Delivery drivers and other workers who spend a lot of time on the road are at risk of crashes and collisions.
• Machinery and Equipment Accidents: Using heavy machinery can be dangerous, especially if the equipment is faulty or used incorrectly.
• Exposure to Toxic Substances: Many jobs involve working with chemicals or hazardous materials that can cause health issues if proper safety measures aren’t in place.

Understanding Your Legal Rights After an Injury

If you’ve been hurt at work in Maryland, you have rights—and we’re here to help you protect them. Here’s what you can expect:

• Workers' Compensation Benefits: This should cover your medical bills, a portion of your lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. We’ll help you file a claim and fight for the benefits you deserve.
• Third-Party Claims: Sometimes, a third party (like an equipment manufacturer) is at fault. In these cases, we can pursue additional compensation on your behalf.
• Employer Negligence Cases: If your employer was grossly negligent or didn’t provide a safe working environment, you may have grounds for a lawsuit beyond workers’ comp.
