Workers Compensation

Delivering Justice Minnesota Workers Compensation Attorneys

If you have been injured at work or on-the-job in Minnesota, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits (sometimes called workers’ comp or workmans comp). The workers' compensation system's purpose is to minimize the impact of work-related injuries or illnesses on workers and employers. The benefits are paid by the employer’s insurance company, and the system is administered by the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry, Workers’ Compensation Division. These benefits include compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, as well as temporary or permanent disability that results from your work injury.

You are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits whether you injured your back lifting a heavy object, developed carpal tunnel syndrome, slipped and fell on a construction site, got in an auto or commercial truck accident while driving on the job, or suffered a more serious injury. These benefits are a trade-off: you are entitled to receive these benefits when you are injured at work, even if the injury is your own fault. However, if the accident is your employer’s fault, you are prohibited from suing your employer for additional money (such as compensation claim for pain and suffering) in a personal injury lawsuit. However, if the injury is the result of a third party (such as another driver, a subcontractor, or a defective product ), you may sue that individual in a “third party” personal injury lawsuit.
