MAJ Workers’ Comp Seminar Features Commissioners & Hot Topics

The 2012 – 2013 Maryland Association for Justice seminar season is off to a running start with our annual Workers’ Compensation Seminar on September 27th at the Radisson Lord Plaza in Baltimore City. This event is promising to be one of the best of the year. The agenda is packed with experts discussing current issues and tips for attorneys. Attendees of this seminar will walk away with information they will use for years.

MAJ is excited to have attorney Kathleen Cahill of the Law Offices of Kathleen Cahill join us as one of our esteemed session speakers. Kathleen Cahill has been practicing employment and civil rights law for 30 years. 

In 2006, Ms. Cahill began representing a Baltimore County police detective against Baltimore County for discrimination under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

With further investigation it was determined that Baltimore County violated federal law and that Baltimore County’s actions were not isolated to this one employee.  Baltimore County violated federal law with regard to multiple County employees in order to cut the County’s labor costs.  Kathleen Cahill helped multiple dedicated county employees who were affected by Baltimore County’s illegal actions.  Ms. Cahill continues to represent county employees and monitor Baltimore County’s actions to ensure that employee’s rights are not violated.

Kathleen Cahill will be present at the Workers’ Compensation Seminar to inform other attorneys about what she uncovered during her case.  The practices and procedures of Baltimore County that Ms. Cahill exposed are not limited to municipality workers.  All attorneys who represent injured workers should be aware of the potential for employee abuse that the ADA was enacted to prevent.  Attendees will learn what to look out for while representing injured workers and how to protect an employee’s right to privacy. Ms. Cahill’s knowledge and experience is information all attorneys can use to the benefit of injured workers.
In addition to Kathleen Cahill, the day will include discussions from doctors, attorneys and commissioners.
