Damages for personal injury claims

If you prevail in a personal injury settlement or lawsuit, there are many different types of compensatory damages available, both economic and non-economic, including:

We offer practical counsel about how you can proceed to recover compensation for your lost wages, medical bills, towing expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, and any scarring or disfigurement you have suffered. If you loved one has died, we can help you recover compensation for your funeral and burial expenses.

Legal support for injured workers

Every state has different rules regarding workers’ compensation claims. In Maryland, you are entitled to see a doctor of your choice, and you can file a claim to collect your lost wages and reimburse your medical expenses.

If regular employees sustain an injury arising out of their employment while doing their typical work tasks, they may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. Some of the most common types of workplace injuries for which an injured worker might receive benefits include:

  • Falls
  • Struck-by/struck against
  • Transportation injuries
  • Back and other musculoskeletal injuries
  • Overexertion
  • Hearing loss
  • Burns
  • Electrical shock
  • Occupational lung diseases
  • Repetitive motion injury
  • Skin diseases

Because of the complex nature of workers’ compensation claims, many Baltimore workers are denied coverage when they first apply, owing to errors in the required documentation. Whether you are attempting to collect workers’ compensation for the first time, or need to appeal a decision, Plaxen Adler Muncy, P.A. can help you through the process.
