Maryland's workers' compensation laws provide enhanced benefits to a specific class of workers called "public safety employees." Public safety employees include law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, and correctional officers. These additional workers' compensation benefits recognize the inherent danger of police work and aim to better protect and compensate Maryland law enforcement officers in the event of an injury. If you're a police officer who has sustained an injury in the line of duty, contact a Baltimore public safety worker's compensation lawyer at Hyatt & Goldbloom today. https://hyattandgoldbloom.com/workers-compensation-for-public-safety-employees
