To help our clients understand what to expect at a Minnesota workers’ compensation hearing, it is important to know what exactly is involved and the process that takes place. A formal workers’ compensation hearing in Minnesota is a trial in front of a workers’ compensation judge. A workers’ compensation hearing may be scheduled after a party files a claim petition or a request for a formal hearing. The judge will determine any past and ongoing issues in dispute between the parties and issue a formal court order and decision.
When you are applying for a Police and Fire Plan PERA Duty Disability benefit, it is important to know there are some very complicated rules that apply. If your attorney is not aware of some of these rules, it can cost you significant amounts of money. For example, there is what we call the 2-year rule. What that means, is if your injury predated your application by more than 2 years you have additional criteria that you need to demonstrate in order to be approved for a PERA Police and Fire Plan Duty Disability.
