Denied Benefits

Work comp insurance companies in Minnesota will often deny your benefits claim by stating that your injury is not job-related or is due to a previous injury or impairment. For example, if you were involved in a car accident several years ago and then injured your back while working, your employer's insurance company may deny your workers comp benefits by arguing that your injury really is an old injury and not related to anything work-related.
