Maryland Workers’ Compensation Lawyers
Advocating for the Rights of Injured Employees Since 2001
From construction accidents to machinery malfunctions to chemical exposure, job-related injuries are common across a wide range of industries. At Antezana & Antezana, LLC., we understand how stressful and frustrating it can be to suffer a workplace injury. Our workers’ compensation lawyers provide strategic advocacy to help injured workers get back on their feet.
When you work with our attorneys, you can expect clear guidance and unwavering support at every step. Our firm includes a former clerk from the Workers’ Compensation Commission (WCC) who has argued thousands of workers’ compensation hearings. We leverage this experience to aggressively advocate for injured workers and pursue the benefits they need to focus on healing.
Many employees are unsure whether they should contact a lawyer after a workplace accident or rely on their employer and the insurance company to handle everything. Talking with a workers comp attorney Maryland residents trust can help you understand whether you are being treated fairly, what benefits you may be missing, and how to respond if your employer or the insurer disputes any part of your claim.
If you suffered a workplace injury in Maryland, we can work diligently to secure the benefits you deserve. Call (301) 640-5735 to schedule a free consultation. Se habla español.

What Is Not Covered by Workers’ Compensation?
Not every workplace injury qualifies for workers’ compensation. Below are common injuries that workers’ comp does not cover:
- Off-the-clock and off-site injuries, such as accidents during daily commutes, unpaid lunch breaks, or while running personal errands on work time.
- Preexisting conditions that are not aggravated or worsened by job-related activities, such as arthritis or diabetes.
- Injuries caused by misconduct, such as fighting or horseplay among employees or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Employees are often surprised to learn that some gray-area situations may still be disputed by the insurer, even when the worker believes the injury is clearly job-related. A work compensation attorney can analyze how Maryland law has treated similar cases, explain whether an exception might apply, and help you gather the facts needed to argue that your injury should fall within the scope of coverage.
What Is the Deadline for Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
To recover workers’ compensation benefits, you must notify your employer of the accident or injury within 10 days and file a claim with the WCC within 60 days. We can help you maintain thorough records, complete required forms, and file a timely claim to keep your case on track.
Deadlines can also vary when an injury develops over time, such as a repetitive trauma condition or an occupational disease tied to long-term exposure. Consulting a work compensation lawyer in Maryland soon after you notice symptoms can help you avoid missing important notice or filing requirements that could otherwise prevent the Workers’ Compensation Commission from considering your claim.
What Are the Different Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
Workers can receive various benefits through workers’ compensation, such as:
- Wage and mileage reimbursement for travel costs and time off work.
- Medical expenses like hospital bills, imaging, and prescription medications.
- Vocational rehabilitation for severe injuries that prohibit the worker from performing their job duties.
- Temporary partial disability provides partial wage replacement for employees who can work in a limited capacity while recovering.
- Temporary total disability provides full wage replacement for workers who cannot perform any job duties during their recovery.
- Permanent partial disability compensates workers for reduced earning capacity after injuries resulting in lasting impairment.
- Permanent total disability provides long-term financial support to workers who are completely unable to return to any form of employment.
- Burial and funeral costs for incidents resulting in a fatality or wrongful death.
Our lawyers work closely with injured employees to make sure all eligible benefits are claimed. We can gather medical evidence, document wage losses, navigate complex regulations, and communicate with the WCC to secure the compensation you deserve.
Because the value of workers compensation claims depends on factors like your average weekly wage, the nature of your medical impairment, and whether you can return to your old job, two workers with similar injuries may receive very different results. A work comp lawyer who regularly appears before Maryland commissioners can explain how these benefits are calculated and help you avoid accepting a settlement that does not reflect the long-term impact of your injury.
