Stevenson is a unincorporated community located in the northern section of Baltimore County, Maryland, United States.

It is also the home of Gerald "Buzz" Berg, the owner of 9 bison that escaped from the farm and went through the community of Pikesville. Berg said that the bison were likely headed for the slaughterhouse after they were corralled on a tennis court. The family enjoyed three months of buffalo burgers following the internationally-reported incident.
What is workers compensation law?
Workers Compensation establishes the liability of an employer for injuries or sicknesses which arise out of and in the course of employment. The liability is created without regard to the fault or negligence of the employer. Benefits generally include hospital and other medical payments and compensation for loss of income; if the injury is covered by the statute, compensation under the statute will be the employees only remedy against her or her employer. The workers compensation systems in place in each state are exclusive, no-fault remedies for most workplace injuries, and workers compensation attorneys guide injured workers through the process, to ensure that they receive appropriate income replacement payments and other monetary awards.
