Hurt at Work? Our Minneapolis Attorneys Can Help.
Dan and his team are great. I can’t imagine the legal process being handled better than they did from start to finish. They found and brought in experts, facilitated letters from my doctors, handled negotiations, and got me the settlement I was looking for after my accident. Most importantly, I always felt like they were in my corner, working for my best interest not just because of their own bottom line, but because they cared about me as an individual and wanted to see me made whole. I can’t recommend their work highly enough.

I cannot begin to express my appreciation of this firm, and Attorney Nick Sweeney. Nick listened to us, worked for us, and led us through a very emotional incident . Through his honest advise, he kept us on target. He discussed our options in very clear, understanding terms. I highly recommend him as a civil defense lawyer.

Get Compensation for Your Work Injury
Every Minnesota employer must carry workers’ compensation insurance or agree to self-insure. While this requirement serves to protect the employer from financial loss when an employee is injured, it mostly serves to provide injured or ill employees with the benefits they need to get healthy and rejoin the workforce.
Workers’ compensation benefits include:
- Medical benefits: Minnesota workers’ compensation laws state that insurance must cover all reasonable and necessary care related to your injury. Your doctor is the one who defines what is “reasonable and necessary”.
- Lost wages: If you meet all requirements for wage-loss benefits, you will receive a partial reimbursement of your income (generally two-thirds).
- Temporary or total disability benefits: You can receive benefits related to any temporary or total disability you may suffer due to your job-related injury. The maximum number of weeks of weekly benefits for temporary partial disability (TPD) is 275 weeks, and for total temporary disability (TTD) is 130 weeks.
- Vocational rehabilitation benefits: Job-retraining programs or support you receive is also included in your workers’ comp benefits.
- Reimbursement for mileage and parking fees: Minnesota law also allows for reimbursement of your mileage and parking fees related to medical visits and rehabilitation appointments. It also reimburses you for these expenses when they are related to job search efforts.
- PPD/PTD: You may have an injury that results in a partial or total disability entitling you to additional compensation for your injury.

Workers’ Compensation & Third-Party Liability Claims
You can’t sue your employer for injuries or illnesses you sustained while on the job. Yet, in some cases, you may be able to pursue a third-party liability claim. This involves suing another person or company who caused your injury, as long as that person is not another employee at your workplace or if the injury occurred while you were off-site on work business.
