Who is Eligible for Worker’s Compensation Benefits in Maryland?
In Maryland, most employees are eligible for worker’s compensation benefits if they are injured or become ill as a result of their job. This includes both full-time and part-time employees, as well as temporary and seasonal workers. Independent contractors and some types of agricultural workers may not be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits.
It is important to note that worker’s compensation benefits are generally provided regardless of fault. This means that even if the employee’s own actions contributed to their injury, they may still be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits.
