Description

Prior to 1963, if an employee incurred an occupational injury that, although not in itself disabling, when coupled with a previous impairment rendered the employee permanently disabled, the employer was exposed to liability under the Workers' Compensation Law for the cumulative effect of the prior and subsequent impairments. That exposure served as a disincentive for employers to hire handicapped workers. In an effort to overcome that disincentive and encourage employers to hire persons with existing disabilities, the Legislature, in 1963, created a balanced mechanism to provide fair compensation to the subsequently injured employee and yet limit the liability of the employer. In what is now Maryland Code, § 9-802(a) of the Labor and Employment Article (LE), the General Assembly directed, in relevant part, that if an employee, already having a permanent impairment, suffers a subsequent occupational injury that results in a permanent disability that is substantially greater, due to the combined effect of the previous impairment and the subsequent injury, than it would have been from the subsequent injury alone, the employer is liable only for the compensation payable for the subsequent injury.
