Workers' compensation is a program of social legislation designed to provide the prompt payment of benefits to individuals who are injured during the course of their employment. Our goal as counsel to employers is to help insure that the proper kind and amount of benefits are paid... and no more.
CBPR has one of the most experienced and highly respected legal staffs in Maryland concentrating in the area of workers' compensation law. We maintain an outstanding reputation for excellence in the defense of claims against employers and insurers. We represent everyone from the smallest business to the largest manufacturer, through insurance companies and self-insured employers, as well as uninsured employers.
The principal services we provide our clients are the accurate identification of issues that should be raised, the practical evaluation of the likely resolution of these issues at the Workers' Compensation Commission and on appeal, and the vigorous advocacy of the interests of our clients in matters that merit litigation.
We believe that injured workers should be properly compensated when appropriate, and we advise our clients when benefits should be paid. Workers' compensation law, however, is not intended to cover all injuries that occur in the workplace. There are frequently limits as to when benefits should be paid and the extent of those benefits. We assist our clients in making fair and reasonable decisions on these limits.
We do not view our role simply as litigators. We are educators of supervisory personnel on the proper investigation of reports of injury and the advantages of returning employees to work, and we keep claims professionals up-to-date on developments in the law. We are a ready resource to answer questions of a general nature or on a specific claim. We recommend our participation in a team approach to the management of claims in order to effectively minimize the cost of serious injuries. We have found that by reviewing the progress of claims on a regular, periodic basis, costs can best be contained. Finally, we utilize our ability to communicate with health care providers, vocational consultants and opposing counsel to narrow problems down to legitimate issues of concern so as to avoid unnecessary litigation. This makes us more effective when litigation is necessary.
Workers' compensation expenses are now widely recognized as a significant cost of doing business. This cost can be controlled with the assistance of able legal counsel. We stand ready to provide that assistance.
