Frequently Asked Questions About Towson Personal Injury and Bankruptcy Claims

Can I file for bankruptcy if I am still working?

Yes. Having income does not prevent you from filing for bankruptcy. Your income, expenses, debts, and the type of bankruptcy you pursue determine eligibility.

What should I do after a workplace injury in Maryland?

Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and seek immediate medical care. You should also document what happened and speak with a Workers’ Compensation attorney if you have questions about your benefits or claim.

Can I receive Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability benefits at the same time?

Yes, you may qualify for both if you meet each program’s requirements. However, Workers’ Compensation benefits can affect the amount of Social Security Disability benefits you receive.
