Emily Smith

Emily Smith works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Maryland. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Emily Smith handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Maryland, including Workplace Injuries, Medical Benefits, Lost Wages, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Maryland, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Emily immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Emily Smith's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 12 years of experience in Maryland workers' comp law, Emily knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Emily Smith primarily serves clients in Hagerstown and the surrounding Maryland area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Maryland and were injured at work, contact Emily's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
