The Trouble with Workers’ Compensation – A Claimant Advocate’s Perspective
Not many realize it, but few areas of the law have quite as much impact as workers’ compensation. According to recent reports from the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission, nearly 100,000 people a year get hurt in reported on-the-job accidents. In a state with fewer than 6 million residents, that’s a big percentage of the working […]
New Workers’ Compensation Cases and Comp+3rd Party
This month seems to be a good time to explain the definition of third-party liability in workers’ compensation. Workers’ comp is no-fault.
