In Maryland, the state legislature has decided (correctly) that, because firefighters and paramedics put their lives on the line for Maryland residents, first responders are entitled to higher compensation than other Maryland workers when hurt on the job. In addition to higher compensation, firefighters and paramedics may be entitled to heart disease injury compensation or certain cancer compensation related to employment, as well as high blood pressure compensation.

This doesnā€™t mean that the County or State insurance covering and managing your injury will treat you fairly or secure the medical treatment that you need to get back to doing what you love to do, helping our community.
