  1. Workers Compensation Injuries in Minnesota

  2. Top Five Things to Know About Workers’ Compensation Injuries in Minnesota Injuries can occur easily on the job, and it is important that individuals understand their rights as employees, and the process of making a workers’ compensation claim.

  3. Injuries Can Happen At Any Job In Any Industry. With very few exceptions, all employers in Minnesota are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Some people assume that injuries only occur in jobs that are inherently dangerous but that is simply not true.

  4. The Most Common Mistake That People Make When They Have Been Injured One of the most common mistake that people make when they have been injured on the job is failing to report the injury to a supervisor. Providing notice of the injury to the employer is so important because there are specific time limitations prescribed by Minnesota law.

  5. Employers Cannot Retaliate Against Employees Who Suffer On-the-job Injuries. Fear of retaliation is a common reason why injured workers fail to report injuries. Injured workers should not let this fear prevent them from reporting an injury because the law contains specific protections in this regard.

  6. There Are Many Different Types Of Work Injuries. When they hear the words “work comp” most people think of specific injuries like broken bones, lacerations, or burns.  In Minnesota, the law also recognizes injuries that happen over time.

  7. Workers’ Compensation Benefits Workers Compensation benefits are not the same as short/long-term disability benefits, Social Security Disability benefits, or liability insurance benefits. Workers’ compensation benefits are a separate and distinct type of benefits available to people injured on the job.

  8. Conclusion If you or someone close to you has suffered an injury on the job, it is best to consult an experienced and trusted  worker’s compensation attorney. Many attorneys in the state of Minnesota provide free consultations. Moreover, workers’ compensation attorneys in Minnesota work on a contingent fee basis.
