General Assembly Website: Find your elected representatives: Appellate Advocacy
Del Marr v. Montgomery County, Maryland The Maryland Self-Insurers and Employers Compensation Association (MSIECA) joined the MDC in an amicus brief filed on behalf of the successful appellee, Montgomery County. MDC and MSIECA argued that when permanent partial disability benefits are increased in a workers’ compensation matter due to worsening of the injured worker's condition, a credit for previous benefits should be based upon the weeks of benefits previously paid. The Court of Appeals relied upon MDC/MSIECA’s argument that this “weeks-based formula” should be adopted because it is consistent with the entire statutory scheme of the Workers’ Compensation Act, rather than the “dollar-based formula” advanced by the Claimant, which would benefit the Claimant in this case but make it impossible for a single rule to be applied in all cases.
