Minneapolis Workers' Compensation Lawyer | Attorneys

Workers' compensation is a type of insurance that your employer is required to carry in the event that an employee is injured on the job, becomes ill or dies due to a work-related injury. When you are injured at on the job, Minnesota law ensures that you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits regardless of whether the injury was caused by the negligence of another person.

Under the Minnesota Workers' Compensation Act, employers and their insurers are responsible for:

• reasonable and necessary medical care and treatment;
• benefits for workers who are completely unable to work;
• benefits for workers who is back at work but making less;
• benefits for workers who are permanently unable to work;
• payment for a workers loss of use of a body function; and
• vocational rebabilitation benefits for injured workers.

If you or a loved one has recently been injured on the job, it is imperative that you request a worksite accident case evaluation as soon as possible as you may be entitled to compensation.

Have you been injured on the job but told that you don't need an attorney to receive your workers' compensation benefits? If you rely on your employer, the insurance company and the Bureau of Workers' Compensation to calculate the correct amount and duration of your workers' compensation, you may get fewer benefits than you deserve and may be forced back to work before fully recovering from your injury.

Under Minnesota State Law, it is illegal for an employer to fire you for filing a workers’ compensation claim, or seeking the legal advice of a licensed attorney. If an employer retaliates against you in any way, you may have additional claims and further recourse to compensation.
