An occupational disease for a first responder may result from long term exposure to different carcinogens throughout the course of the employment. This is due to the specific nature of the job that requires exposure to potential physical, biological, or chemical agents. Maryland law also includes many “presumptions,” which makes it easier for first responders to prevail on an occupational disease claim. These presumptions are an evidentiary standard, where if the employee can meet certain conditions, the laws of evidence presume the disease to be caused by the employment. Without these evidentiary presumptions, it can be difficult to prove certain conditions were caused by the employment. Poe Law, LLC has extensive experience and knowledge of the law relating to First Responders which is vital to ensuring a successful claim and timely payment of benefits.
