The Commission administers the Workers' Compensation Law and adjudicates claims for compensation arising under the law (Code Labor and Employment Article, secs. 9-301 through 9-316). Reports of accidents are received and processed by the Commission which hears contested cases throughout the State.

Appointed by the Governor with Senate advice and consent, the Commission's ten members serve twelve-year terms. The Governor names the chair (Code Labor and Employment Article, secs. 9-101 through 9-1201).
Work of the Commission is carried on by nine divisions: Claims; Court Reporting; Fiscal Services; Hearing; Information Technology; Insurance; Personnel; Processing; and Support Services. The Commission also is aided by the Advisory Committee on the Registration of Rehabilitation Practitioners.
