More details to this question:
I recently went into work well and about 45 min into work I became dizzy and I threw up 3 times (one time my supervisor witnessed) I removed my jacket and returned to work , the sup advised me that I couldn''t work w/o my jacket because it was part of my uniform (however when I came in that day my co-worker was there without her jacket on) I begged her telling her that I did not feel well at all and that removing my jacket would provide some relief...she said no but that I could turn the air up. I told her that I had tried contacting someone else to come in for me because I was not well, she responded by saying "well I''m getting ready to go so you need to hurry up and find someone to come in if that''s what you are trying to do!" I found no one and she left. maybe 30 min later I passed out. The doctor has removed me from work it has been 2 weeks I strained my neck and back when I fell and they have denied me workman''s comp because I was dehydrated and it was not their fault

You should contact a Maryland workers compensation attorney. He will provide you with a free consultation and advise you what your rights are. I disagree with the conclusion that your injuries weren't work-related. They would never happen if you did not have to report to work and be on your feet.
I think when you speak to a local workers compensation attorney he will tell you that any cause of action (beyond the workers compensation claim) against the employer will be barred, but that does not mean that you have to accept their decision on the workers compensation claim.
Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
