Workers' Compensation:
Factory & Manufacturing Workers
Experienced Workers' Compensation Lawyers for Factory and Warehouse Workers Injured on the Job
Factory and warehouse jobs, as well as those involving heavy machinery, are among the most dangerous occupations in Maryland. These jobs expose workers to hazardous conditions such as operating heavy machinery, repetitive lifting, falling objects, and exposure to toxic substances. At Sarro Proctor Law, we understand the unique risks these jobs pose and specialize in helping injured workers navigate the complex workers’ compensation process to secure the benefits they deserve.
Workers in these environments face injuries that can be severe and life-altering, from traumatic amputations to spinal cord injuries caused by machinery malfunctions. The physical and financial impact of such injuries can be overwhelming, but Maryland law ensures that employees injured on the job have the right to workers’ compensation benefits. Our experienced team at Sarro Proctor Law is here to help you through this process, ensuring that you receive proper medical care, wage replacement, and support for long-term rehabilitation.
Common Injuries in Factory and Warehouse Accidents
In factory, warehouse, and heavy machinery environments, accidents often result in serious injuries due to the high-risk nature of the work. Some of the most common injuries we handle include:
Machinery Accidents: Workers can suffer crushing injuries, amputations, or fractures from operating or maintaining heavy machinery.
Back and Neck Injuries: Lifting heavy objects repeatedly without proper equipment or support can result in long-term musculoskeletal damage, including herniated discs and strained muscles.
Repetitive Stress Injuries: Jobs that require repetitive motions—such as lifting, carrying, or assembly line tasks—can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or chronic joint pain.
Falling Objects and Forklift Accidents: Warehouse workers are frequently injured by falling objects, such as pallets or tools, and accidents involving forklifts are common. These can cause head injuries, concussions, or broken bones.
Chemical Exposure: Factory workers may be exposed to hazardous substances, which can cause respiratory illnesses or severe burns.
If you have experienced any of these injuries, it’s critical to report the incident immediately and seek medical attention. Workers’ compensation benefits can help cover the costs of your medical treatment and lost wages while you recover.
What Workers’ Compensation Covers
Maryland law mandates that employers carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and wage replacement for injured workers. If you’ve been injured in a factory, warehouse, or heavy machinery accident, you may be entitled to:
Medical Benefits: These cover hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and medications related to your work injury.
Temporary or Permanent Disability Benefits: If your injury leaves you unable to work temporarily or permanently, you may be eligible for wage replacement. Temporary disability provides compensation while you recover, and permanent disability benefits cover situations where you cannot return to your previous job.
Vocational Rehabilitation: If you are unable to return to your previous occupation, workers’ compensation may cover the cost of retraining for a new job.
Death Benefits: In the unfortunate event of a fatal workplace accident, workers’ compensation provides death benefits to surviving family members.

OUR PROCESS
Meet with the lawyer to discuss your injury, how it occurred, and review your case to determine eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits.
Your lawyer helps file the official claim with the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission, ensuring all required documentation is complete and accurate.
The employer and their insurance company review the claim, and your lawyer will handle any communication or disputes that arise regarding the claim.
As you receive medical treatment, your lawyer ensures that all medical records are collected and submitted, which will be crucial for supporting your claim.
If there is a dispute about your benefits or if your claim is denied, your lawyer will negotiate a settlement or represent you in a hearing before the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Once the claim is approved, your lawyer helps ensure you receive the benefits owed, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, or permanent disability compensation.
If your claim is denied or the benefits are insufficient, your lawyer can file an appeal and guide you through the next steps to fight for the compensation you deserve.
