Historically, employees and laborers were overworked until no longer useful to those who employed them. It used to be that people were fired if they were unable to perform their work duties. We are fortunate that times have changed and there are laws protecting employees from this type of behavior. If workers are injured while performing work related duties they deserve to be compensated—and that is what workers compensation laws seek to achieve. As Baltimore workers compensation lawyers, we are committed to continuing the advancement of workers’ rights. If you suffer a work related injury that causes either permanent or temporary damage you deserve compensation. While certainly your job is affected as it relates to your employer because you can no longer able to perform required duties but the most significant effect is on your life—your quality of life, your ability to work, raise your family, help out around the house, your physical health and comfort and your financial well-being. It is a legal requirement that employers in the United obtain insurance policies on their employees, yet often these employers are reluctant to give their employers their due workers’ comp benefits in order to avoid higher insurance premiums. This is not acceptable and our Baltimore MD workers compensation lawyers will not allow this to occur. Contact us today for a free consultation. We can help.
