We Take On the Insurance Companies
Insurers are quick to minimize or deny your claim. At Timian & Fawcett, our attorneys understand every tactic used to underpay injured workers — and we fight back aggressively to ensure you receive the full compensation you are owed for medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing disability.
Personal Attention on Every Single Case
Unlike large impersonal firms, Attorney Timian prides himself on direct contact with every client. You’ll know what’s happening at every stage of your case — no being passed off to a paralegal, no chasing updates. You matter to us, and it shows in our results and our 4.9-star reviews.
Costly Mistakes Injured Workers Make
Waiting Too Long to Report the Injury
In Maryland, you generally have 60 days to file a workers’ compensation claim after an accidental injury. Missing this deadline can forfeit your right to benefits entirely. The moment you are hurt at work, notify your employer in writing and contact an attorney immediately.
Giving a Recorded Statement to the Insurance Company
The employer’s insurance adjuster is not on your side. Recorded statements are frequently used to find reasons to minimize or deny your claim. Never give a statement to an insurer without first speaking with your own attorney.
Accepting the First Settlement Offer Without Legal Review
Initial offers from insurance companies are almost always below what you’re entitled to. Once you accept a settlement, you typically cannot seek additional compensation — even if your condition worsens. Let us evaluate your offer before you sign anything.
Assuming Workers’ Comp Covers Everything
When a third party’s negligence contributed to your workplace injury, you may be entitled to far more than workers’ compensation alone provides. Failing to explore a third-party claim could leave significant compensation on the table.
Why Experienced Legal Representation Matters
✓ Protect Your Right to Benefits From Day One
Without an attorney, it’s easy to unknowingly waive rights, miss deadlines, or make statements that damage your claim. We step in immediately to protect your interests from the moment you call.
✓ Recover More Than Insurance Alone Will Pay
Injured workers who hire attorneys consistently recover more in settlements than those who go unrepresented. We know how to present your damages — past, present, and future — in their full scope.
✓ Level the Playing Field Against Large Insurers
Employer insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize what they pay you. Attorney Fawcett has spent his career fighting against big insurers on behalf of the individuals who deserve better.
✓ Focus on Your Recovery — We’ll Handle the Rest
While you focus on getting better, we handle all communications, filings, deadlines, and negotiations. Our responsive team knows you by name and handles every question — no tickets, no delays.
You don’t have to face the insurance company alone.
Whether your workers’ comp claim has been denied, you’ve been offered a low settlement, or you’re unsure what your injury is worth — Timian & Fawcett is ready to help.
