Individuals who are hurt at work in Minnesota may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, which, in addition to medical expense benefits and rehabilitation benefits, can include significant monetary benefits.

We often meet with potential Minnesota workers’ compensation clients who tell us that they just want to get the medical care they need and get on with their lives. They tell us they don’t want any money, they just want to get back to work, and they don’t want their employer to think poorly of them if they hire a lawyer. While this is an admirable attitude to have, all injured workers should know a few things about monetary benefits available under Minnesota workers’ compensation benefits.
