Background

About Jason Heller

I focus my Maryland and Washington, D.C. workers’ compensation practice on the defense of employers and insurance companies. In Maryland, I have defended employers and insurers before the Workers’ Compensation Commission, Circuit Courts, and the Court of Special Appeals. In Washington, D.C, I have represented the interests of employers and insurers before the Office of Workers’ Compensation, Office of Hearings and Adjudication, Compensation Review Board, and the Court of Appeals. My record includes defending employers and insurers against accidental injury and occupational disease claims and issues pertaining to the causal relationship of disabilities and claimants’ alleged temporary total and/or permanent partial disability. My practice has led to several multi-day jury trials before various Maryland Circuit Courts, many of which resulted in favorable verdicts for employer and insurers. Throughout my career, I have represented employers in the food-service industry, hospitals, municipalities, construction companies, hotels, assisted-living facilities, and family-owned establishments. Prior to beginning my workers’ compensation defense practice, I gained valuable experience representing claimants before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission. I have also handled automotive tort cases and assisted business owners in various general civil litigation matters. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland, I attended the University of Baltimore School of Law, where I was an associate editor and contributor at the University of Baltimore Law Forum.
