Employers have an obligation to ensure construction workers and other workers have safe work environments. When it is not possible to eliminate a dangerous condition, they are required to adequately warn workers of, and protect them from, that danger.

Weinberg, has fought for the rights of injured workers for nearly 30 years.

Workers' Compensation and 'Third Party' Injuries | Towson Construction Accident Attorney
Our law office helps clients acquire workers' compensation and, if applicable, additional compensation from negligent "third parties."
In Maryland, it is not necessary to show negligence to obtain benefits for worker injuries which occur on the job and are within the scope of employment. These benefits include payment for lost wages, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation and an award for any permanent injuries.
Depending on circumstances, claims against third parties can include other negligent drivers, property owners, contractors, subcontractors, and equipment providers and sellers — each of whom may be wholly or partially responsible for a worker's injuries and damages.
You may be eligible to receive workers' comp through your employer and additional compensation from other contributors. Such compensation can include that for your pain and suffering, which — while vitally important to you — is not covered under workers' compensation. We will also attempt to resolve various lien or subrogation issues that your workers' compensation provider may have with third parties.
