Maryland Initial Presentation Outline is a guideline for presenting cases to the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission. It consists of a cover page, a statement of case, a narrative of the case, a witness list, medical evidence, and other evidence relevant to the case. The outline helps to ensure that all necessary evidence is presented in an organized and concise manner. There are several types of Maryland Initial Presentation Outlines: Claimant's Outline, Employer's Outline, Lawyer's Outline, and Arbitrator's Outline. Each outline provides a basic structure for presenting a case to the Commission. The Claimant's Outline requires a detailed narrative of the case and a listing of all witnesses and evidence. The Employer's Outline requires a brief description of the case and a listing of all witnesses and evidence. The Lawyer's Outline requires a detailed narrative of the case, a legal argument, and a listing of all witnesses and evidence. The Arbitrator's Outline requires a detailed narrative of the case, a legal argument, and a listing of all witnesses and evidence which should support the legal argument.
