The main aspect that makes workers’ compensation cases unique from others is that it is a form of litigation within an administrative system. In addition, the rules of evidence are different and a bit easier to navigate through in comparison to other civil cases. There are also caps on lawsuits, tort recoveries, and jury awards. A jury could give someone $100,000, but the cap for medical negligence in Maryland might be $400,000 and changes each year. With workers’ compensation in Maryland, if someone is disabled from work, they may also be paid the entire time they are unable to work.
