Joel L Katz's response: We here at the Law Office of Joel L. Katz, L.L.C. are very sorry that you were dissatisfied with our handling of your Worker’s Compensation Claim. We take each and every case we handle very seriously and always strive to provide each client with the best possible representation. Unfortunately, Maryland Worker’s Compensation law requires an injured worker (through his or her attorney) to prove a connection between a chemical exposure on the job and any health issues being alleged as a result of such exposure. Although we expended significant time and resources in your case, we were unable to secure a doctor/expert who was willing to provide the necessary medical opinion to prove causation between the chemical exposure and your claimed injuries. Without such supporting expert/medical opinion, we simply could not meet the legal requirements for proving your claim and we advised you accordingly. As a litigation firm, we never shy away from standing up for our clients or from battling insurance companies and we have handled many very difficult cases with very favorable results. Although we are sorry that you were dissatisfied with the outcome of your case, we as attorneys must rely upon the opinions of the medical experts in cases involving physical injuries. As part of our commitment and obligation to our clients, we are very upfront and honest with all of our clients in discussing both the strengths and weaknesses of their case and we make recommendations based upon our training and experience so that each client can make an informed decision as to whether to settle or go to trial. Unfortunately, we cannot address your complaints regarding the Maryland Worker’s Compensation Commission’s handling of your file as they are a state agency over which we have no control. As your case is apparently still ongoing, we wish you the best of luck in bringing such to a favorable conclusion.
