Fighting for the full benefits you deserve after a workplace injury under Maryland workers’ compensation law.
When you are injured on the job in Maryland, workers’ compensation is supposed to provide the medical care and wage replacement you need to recover. In practice, the process is rarely that simple. Employers and their insurance carriers routinely dispute claims, delay treatment authorizations, and minimize the benefits they pay.
At Killian Law Group, our workers’ compensation attorneys guide injured workers through every stage of the claims process, from the initial injury report through hearings before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission. We fight to ensure you receive the full benefits you are entitled to under the law.

Frequently Asked Workers’ Compensation Questions:
If your claim is denied or your benefits are disputed, you have the right to request a hearing before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission. Our attorneys represent injured workers at these hearings, presenting medical evidence and legal arguments to challenge the denial and fight for the benefits you are owed. Do not accept a denial without consulting an attorney first.
In most cases, no. Maryland’s workers’ compensation system is an exclusive remedy, meaning employees covered by workers’ comp generally cannot file a negligence lawsuit against their employer for a workplace injury. However, exceptions may exist if a third party contributed to your injury or if your employer intentionally caused harm. Our attorneys evaluate whether additional claims are available.
You should report a workplace injury to your employer immediately, preferably in writing. Formal claims for accidental injuries must generally be filed with the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission within 60 days of the incident. Failing to report promptly can jeopardize your claim, so contact an attorney as soon as possible after a workplace injury.
Maryland workers’ compensation provides several categories of benefits including full coverage of medical expenses related to your injury, temporary total disability payments of approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you recover, permanent partial or total disability benefits for lasting impairments, and vocational rehabilitation services if you are unable to return to your previous position.
