Workplace Fatalities In Maryland And The Legal Options Available To Families

In Maryland in 2023, there were 69 fatal work injuries recorded, with transportation incidents and exposure to harmful environments among the leading causes of death on the job.

Families of workers who die on the job may have several legal pathways to pursue compensation. They include:

• Workers’ compensation death benefits through the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Act
• Wrongful death claims against negligent third parties whose actions contributed to the fatal accident

Our Baltimore fatal work accident lawyer can help families decide which path fits their case.

Maryland Wrongful Death Claims, Third-Party Liability And Compensation For Families

Fatal workplace accidents sometimes involve third parties whose negligence contributes to the death. In such cases, families may have claims beyond workers’ compensation, seeking full compensation for losses caused by negligent contractors, equipment manufacturers or other liable parties.

Under Maryland’s wrongful death statute, specific family members such as spouses, children and parents may file a wrongful death claim if a loved one dies due to another’s actions, but must do so within (3) years from the date of the decedent’s death.

These claims can provide compensation for financial contributions the deceased would have made and other losses. Compensation may include

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of companionship
• Pain and suffering
