Workers' Compensation

Injured at Work? We Are Authorities on Workers' Compensation

The attorneys of Dobbs & Baker in Rockville, Maryland, help people who have suffered workplace injuries receive the full amount of workers' compensation benefits they need and deserve.

Representing Injured Workers in Three States

Robert C. Baker Jr., is a former chief hearing examiner for the D.C. Office of Workers' Compensation. He is licensed to practice in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., and skillfully represents clients seeking workers’ compensation benefits in each jurisdiction. Attorney Michael D. Dobbs has over 20 years of experience handling thousands of workers’ compensation cases in both Maryland and D.C.

Workers' compensation programs may vary from one jurisdiction to another, but all are similar in scope and intent. Benefits typically include:

• Medical and rehabilitation expenses
• Payment of a portion of the worker's average weekly wages
• Payment for partial and total permanent disability resulting from the injury
• Vocational retraining, in some cases, when a return to the previous position is not possible
• Death benefits for survivors of workers killed on the job

Setting a Strategy That Works to Your Advantage

In some cases, a work injury claim can be brought in more than one jurisdiction. After studying the facts of your case, we will advise you of where it would be to your best advantage to file the claim. We will also determine whether you can file a personal injury claim in addition to the workers' compensation claim. A particular area of interest for our firm is for clients who may work in another state – since our attorneys are licensed in Virginia, Maryland and D.C., we can help you if you were injured in Maryland but live in another area and vice versa.

We can help you file an initial claim for benefits or step in later in the process if problems arise. We frequently represent clients facing a variety of workers' compensation issues, including when:

• Benefits have been terminated
• Payments are in the wrong amount
• Surgeries or other medical procedures not authorized
• Medical bills not being paid

No matter how your work injury occurred, you can depend on us to help you get all the benefits you are entitled to receive. To discuss your case, please contact us by e-mail or call us toll free at 866-737-6619. Your initial consultation is free. Our fees are a percentage of the benefits we obtain for you.
