What To Do If Your Employer Tells You Not To File A Workers' Compensation Claim

Being injured on the job can be a confusing and difficult situation. Suffering from an injury is bad enough, but trying to navigate the Maryland workers' compensation system can be positively impossible. People who try to take care of this situation on their own routinely have major difficulties and may not have their rights properly covered. Sometimes, an employer will tell an injured worker not to file a workers' compensation claim; or, an employer might threaten to fire an employee who does. If this happens to you, it is imperative that you seek professional legal counsel to protect your rights.

Unscrupulous business owners sometimes try to avoid workers' compensation claims by directly threatening or attempting to coerce an injured employee. This is against the law, and workers must be aware of the fact that under no circumstances are employers permitted to do these kinds of things under Maryland workers' compensation laws. In fact, employers can face serious legal consequences if they are found to have threatened an injured employee.

Your employer might try to tell you that you do not have an adequate case under workers' compensation; they may say that you are wasting your time and that any claim you attempt will surely be denied. Employers might use this strategy to prevent you from ever pursuing workers' compensation, but this is illegal. Any time you are injured on the job, the first thing you must do is seek medical attention. The second and imperative thing you should do is hire a knowledgeable attorney.
