Workers who are injured during the course and scope of their employment may be entitled to several types of benefits, including medical care and hospitalization services at the expense of their employer or the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company, temporary partial disability benefits, permanent partial disability benefits, permanent total disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation benefits. Unlike in other personal injury or wrongful death cases, it is not necessary that the employee prove fault against the employer in a workers’ compensation case, and contributory negligence is not typically a bar to recovery in on-the-job injury cases.

Just as a person who is hurt by someone else’s failure to act in a reasonably prudent manner has the right to seek compensation for their injuries, a family who has lost a loved one due to careless conduct can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party. Maryland has very specific rules about who may file such a claim, as well as statutes setting forth the damages that are available to families who file wrongful death or survival actions. Since each case is very fact-dependent, people who have lost a loved one in an accident are advised to promptly consult a Maryland personal injury lawyer to discuss their situation in more detail. Workers' Compensation
It seems that our roads, shopping centers, and downtown areas are constantly under construction. People who work in the construction industry can suffer serious and even deadly accidents. Because of the range of potential defendants (such as general contractors, subcontractors, and even product manufacturers), these cases can be very complicated. Time is of the essence in filing a claim in a construction accident case, since there may be not only a statute of limitations but also a statute of repose.

For example, if the government is a possible defendant, there may also be formal notice requirements that a personal injury lawyer in Maryland or Washington, D.C. would need to make sure to meet. Premises Liability

Medical Malpractice
Doctors, hospitals, nurses, and other medical professionals can make mistakes, just as ordinary people do. When an injured patient can prove that their harm was caused by a health care provider’s deviation from the applicable standard of care, the plaintiff can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. Unlike in some kinds of negligence cases, expert testimony is required in medical malpractice lawsuits. It can be costly and time-consuming to obtain a qualified expert, so it is important to get started on a case as soon as possible if you suspect that you or a loved one has been a victim of a medical error.
