What Is Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to those who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits typically cover a portion of lost wages, medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and permanent disability expenses. This is a system designed to protect both employers and employees by eliminating lengthy legal proceedings and paving the way for timely support for injured workers.

While the workers' compensation program intends to make things simpler, this process can often be complex and frustrating to navigate. Insurance companies may try to reduce or deny claims, and other legal requirements can quickly become overwhelming without the proper legal guidance.

Workers' Compensation Claims: A General Timeline

The claims process begins immediately after the injury. First, employees must notify their employer and seek medical attention. Having documentation to support the details of your injury is key at this stage and moving forward. From there, a formal claim is filed with the state’s Workers' Compensation Commission.

Once the claim is submitted, the employer and their insurance company will review the case. If it is accepted, benefits will be available shortly after. If denied, the employee has the right to appeal. This process may involve hearings, additional medical evaluations, and legal negotiations.

While some claims are quickly resolved, others can take longer – especially when disputes arise. With Ellison Sadri, LLC, you don’t need to go through this alone. You can rely on us to help you meet every deadline and build a strong case on your behalf from the very beginning.

How Maryland And Washington, DC Manage Workers' Compensation

Both Maryland and Washington, DC have particular rules and procedures in place to manage workers' compensation claims. In Maryland, claims are filed through the Workers' Compensation Commission. Workers must report the incident within 60 days and file the claim within two years. This is a no-fault system, which means benefits are awarded regardless of who caused the accident.

Washington, DC follows similar guidelines but with its own unique deadlines and forms. Both jurisdictions allow for appeals, vocational rehabilitation, and various classifications of disability benefits.
