Types of Workers' Compensation Benefits Available
Maryland workers’ compensation may cover medical care and wage replacement when a job injury prevents you from working. These worker's compensation benefits depend on your diagnosis, work restrictions, and the documentation submitted to the Commission.
Common benefits may include:
- Temporary total disability wages while you cannot work
- Temporary partial disability wages if you return with reduced hours or pay
- Medical treatment related to the injury
- Prescription reimbursement and necessary medical equipment
- Permanent partial disability or permanent total disability benefits
- Vocational rehabilitation and job retraining when needed
- Mileage reimbursement for approved medical travel
If you are unsure which benefits apply, an attorney can review your job duties, medical records, and wage history to determine what to pursue. Documentation becomes especially important when the injury causes lasting impairment, including a catastrophic injury.
Injuries We Commonly See in Workers’ Comp Claims
Workers’ comp claims can involve sudden trauma, repetitive strain, or serious medical conditions that require ongoing care. The claim value and timeline often depend on treatment records, restrictions, and whether the insurer disputes causation.
Common examples include:
- Back, neck, shoulder, and knee injuries
- Repetitive strain and carpal tunnel conditions
- Fractures and crush injuries
- Lacerations and scarring
- Serious trauma such as a burn injury

"I appreciate you defending my rights and my heritage. I am so thankful for your service and professionalism."
There are some things that the law school does not teach, but you manage to possess those skills. Thank you so much for everything you did for me.
I was in an accident in 2020 where the driver hit me from behind and left the scene. I contacted the law office of Wilson & Parlett to handle my case. Mr. Parlett, Adam Perrelli, Scott Sanford and the paralegals kept me informed throughout the process. I never had to call to ask for an update. They contacted me via phone to inform me of steps taken, gave me options, and advised me on what they thought was the best option. At the end of my case, I was pleased with their professionalism and caring. I would highly recommend Wilson & Parlett to family and friends.

"I know I chose the best team to handle my claim and I am satisfied with the outcome."I met with attorney Scott Sanford and Kimberly in the Upper Marlboro office regarding my disability claim. Mr. Sanford helped me file my appeal, gave me information about the process, and answered all my many many questions. He was very smart, honest and straightforward- which are great qualities to find in an attorney. He had me contact Kimberly with any questions or paperwork I needed to send in. She was knowledgeable, stayed on top of my claim, and so very helpful. They called if they received something that needed my attention. I continued to receive notices from Wilson and Parlett letting me know they were still actively working on my case. I was told going to court usually occurs and what the process would be. That would have taken my case a lot longer to settle, bc of how backed up S.S. is but happens a lot. I received an approval letter within 6-8 months and didn't have to go to court. This office is very skilled in handling this type of case. I know I chose the best team to handle my claim and I am satisfied with the outcome. I am definitely recommending them to my friends or anyone else applying for disability!!- Olivia

"I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing personal injury legal representation."I was in a serious auto accident in 2010 in Southern Maryland. I chose Wilson and Parlett because I knew Tim Parlett's brother through business and community work and knew that theirs' was a long standing Southern Maryland family. I was extremely pleased with their services throughout the entire process. The first portion of the settlement was concluded in a very timely manner which allowed for all of my medical bills to be paid. The second portion of the settlement took more time, as is typical. But Tim Parlett negotiated smartly, using time and tactics to our advantage. The amount I was awarded for this final portion was much more than I expected and more than the firm really expected as well! They knew the extent of my injuries and the probable likelihood of problems later in life and negotiated effectively from that perspective. In most cases, I spoke with Tim Parlett directly, rather than a paralegal or staff person. He was down to earth, honest and sympathetic to me as things changed in my life throughout the process. Documents were clear and detailed. Their responses to any requests I made were always handled in a very timely manner. I was totally confident that they were representing my best interests. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing personal injury legal representation.- Janet
Do I Qualify for Workers’ Compensation in Maryland?
Many workers qualify if they are employees and the injury happened while performing job duties. Eligibility often depends on employment status, medical proof, and timely reporting.
Basic factors often include:
- You are an employee, not an independent contractor
- The injury occurred while performing job duties
- Medical records support the injury and restrictions
- Required notice and claim filings were made on time
If there is a dispute about coverage or status, the claim may require a hearing. A lawyer can help present evidence and address insurer arguments.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
You may benefit from a lawyer when the insurer delays benefits, disputes treatment, questions your disability rating, or claims the injury is not work-related. Legal guidance can also help prevent errors that lead to denials.
A lawyer can assist with:
- Wage loss benefits and benefit calculations
- Medical treatment disputes and authorizations
- Independent medical exams and responses
- Hearings, appeals, and settlement negotiations
How Long Do I Have to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Maryland?
Maryland law includes notice requirements for workplace injuries, and reporting late can affect your claim. Acting quickly also helps connect your medical documentation to the work incident.
