Work Related Injury Benefits
Minnesota Worker's Compensation Lawyer
If you suffer a work related injury in Minnesota a worker's compensation insurance company hired by your employer is responsible for paying the benefits. No matter what type of job you have there is the possibility that you may suffer a work related injury. Employers in Minnesota are required to have worker's compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and a percentage of lost wages.
A Minnesota worker's compensation lawyer at Fields Law Firm can fight for your rights and the benefits you deserve because you can't work.
What does Minnesota Worker's Compensation pay for?
• Medical expenses related to treatment for your work injury
• Wage loss benefits for a portion of your lost income
• Benefits for permanent impairments or loss of function of a body part
• Spouse and dependent benefits if you die of a work related injury
• Vocational rehabilitation services if you cannot return to your previous position
Once a worker's compensation claim has been filed, an insurance company gets involved and your employer usually has limited say in what benefits are paid and for how long. The worker's compensation insurance company controls the payment of benefits and is usually more concerned with denying lost wages and medical benefits rather than helping the injured worker with their financial
worries and medical care.
We understand that injured workers may be facing unpaid medical bills, missed income and other financial stresses after a work accident. We represent worker's compensation clients on a contingency basis. You do not pay any attorney fees unless you received benefits. The attorney fees are set by Minnesota law and are limited to a maximum percentage of compensation. If the injured employee does not receive worker's compensation benefits no attorney fee is paid.
