Maryland's agency and claim process
Maryland's system is run by the Workers' Compensation Commission. Under Lab. & Empl. 9-709, the injured employee files a claim application form with the Commission.
Maryland timing rules for intake
Notice to the employer
Under Lab. & Empl. 9-704, oral or written notice must be given to the employer within 10 days after the accidental personal injury, or within 30 days after a death. Unless the Commission excuses it, failure to give notice bars a claim.
Filing with the Commission
Under Lab. & Empl. 9-709, the employee files a claim application form with the Commission within 60 days after the injury. The Commission can excuse a late filing if the employer or insurer wasn't prejudiced or for another sufficient reason, but a claim not filed within two years after the injury is completely barred.
Rules change; the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission has the current versions.
