FAQs: Catonsville Personal Injury, Bankruptcy, and Workers’ Compensation Claims

Can bankruptcy stop creditors from contacting me?

Yes, filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that requires most creditors to stop collection calls, lawsuits, garnishments, and other collection efforts.

Do I have to go to court for a personal injury claim?

Many personal injury claims resolve through settlement negotiations, but filing a lawsuit may be necessary if negotiations fail and a fair agreement cannot be reached.

What happens if my employer disputes my Workers’ Compensation claim?

It may require a hearing before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission, where your attorney can present evidence, address the employer or insurer’s objections, and advocate for your entitled benefits.
