Why You Need a Workers Compensation Lawyer
Maryland’s workers’ compensation laws are complex, and securing your rightful benefits requires knowledge of the system’s many rules and regulations. While workers’ compensation is intended to be a straightforward process for injured employees, disputes with employers or insurance companies often arise, potentially delaying or denying benefits.
An experienced workers compensation lawyer ensures that your case is handled efficiently and that you receive the compensation you need to recover fully. Whether you’ve experienced a one-time accident or a long-term occupational illness, Sarro Proctor Law will fight for your rights.
Common Types of Workers Compensation Claims
At Sarro Proctor Law, we represent clients in a variety of workers’ compensation cases. Some of the most common workplace injuries we handle include:
Workplace Accidents

- Motor vehicle accidents while on the job
- Slip and fall accidents

Occupational Diseases
Long-term exposure to hazardous materials or repetitive tasks can result in chronic conditions that develop over time. These occupational diseases may include:

Our workers compensation lawyers will help you navigate the complexities of your case and ensure that your claim is properly filed for maximum compensation.
Benefits Available Through Workers Compensation
Injured workers are entitled to various benefits under Maryland’s workers’ compensation laws. The exact benefits you may receive will depend on the nature and severity of your injury. Our workers compensation lawyers will help you secure the following:
Medical Benefits
Workers’ compensation covers all necessary medical expenses related to your workplace injury, including:
- Doctor visits and hospital stays
- Surgeries and rehabilitation
- Prescriptions and medical devices
Temporary Total Disability (TTD)
If your injury temporarily prevents you from working, you may be entitled to TTD benefits, which provide two-thirds of your average weekly wage during your recovery period.
Permanent Partial Disability (PPD)
In cases where an injury results in permanent impairment, but you are still able to work in some capacity, PPD benefits may apply. Our workers compensation lawyers will work to ensure you receive these benefits to cover your long-term needs.
Vocational Rehabilitation
If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job, vocational rehabilitation benefits are available to help you train for a new career or job.

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.
