Injuries from medical mistakes

Support for workers’ compensation disputes

If you have been injured on the job, Maryland workers’ compensation provides medical expenses and a partial wage replacement temporary disability benefit that also includes lump sum payments for scheduled losses such as the loss of a limb or hearing loss.

Some of the following are common types of accidents for which workers receive workers’ compensation benefits:

  • Falls from heights
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Overexertion injuries
  • Back, neck and spinal cord injuries
  • Struck-by/struck-against injuries
  • Electric shock
  • Lung cancer
Occupational diseases including:

  • Toxic exposure
  • Asbestosis
  • Hearing loss
  • Skin disorders
  • Asthma
  • Silicosis
  • Lead poisoning

If you are facing a dispute because your employer’s insurer has denied your workers’ compensation claim, or if you are facing a hearing with the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission, we will gladly be your advocates.

Premises liability for injuries sustained on someone else’s property

You have the right to expect that the premises where you shop, work, and play are safe. If you are hurt on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation. A slip-and-fall on icy pavement, a bite from the neighbor’s dog, an object falling from a shelf onto your head at the grocery store – all of these are common examples of premises liability claims. If your injuries were the result of another person’s negligence, we want to help you.

Helping those in Westminster injured from using defective products

A person can suffer an injury using any kind of product. When you take legal action against the manufacturer and the businesses in the chain of commerce, there are three different types of product liability actions:

  • Design defect. When the product is defective because of the intrinsic design of the item, it is a design defect.
  • Manufacturing defect. A manufacturing defect occurs in the manufacturing process with elements such as inferior materials, or a mistake in the making of the product.
  • Marketing defect. A marketing defect refers to the manufacturer's failure to warn the consumer about the dangerous or potentially hazardous aspects of the product.

A Maryland products liability lawyer from Plaxen Adler Muncy understands the complexities of these cases. You can feel confident that a dependable legal team is protecting your rights.
