Filing for Workers' Compensation in Minnesota

Are your rights being protected?

If you are injured on the job, or have developed a condition or illness through your work duties, you have a right under the law to seek workers' compensation benefits. These can include all types of illness and injuries that have come about due to exposure, accidents, repetitive motion, lifting, equipment failures and other situations that have led to the injury, illness or condition. Although the law protects your from being fired for filing a claim, there are cases in which employers try to urge workers not to file, as they will face higher premiums when they have injury claims against their policy.

The process of filing a claim must be done correctly, and if you fail to fully document any aspect of your injury claim, you can have a valid injury claim denied, disputed, or could be offered much less in compensation than you would have had your claim been professionally managed by a Minnesota workers' compensation lawyer from Heimerl & Lammers.
