Minnesota Worker's Compensation

Workers’ compensation laws provide medical and financial benefits to employees that become injured in the course and scope of employment.  Workers’ compensation laws protect the employee.  An injured employee is entitled to medical and financial benefits even if the injury was the employee’s fault.  Workers’ compensation laws also protect the employer.  Under workers’ compensation laws, the remedies that an employee can obtain from his/her employer are limited to the benefits that workers’ compensation laws provide.  When an employee sustains serious injury, the employer enjoys limited liability and is shielded from a potentially costly lawsuit.

Employees working for the federal government or in certain industries are not protected by state compensation laws.  Instead, a number of federal programs provide compensation for these injured employees.  For example, the Federal Employment Compensation Act (FECA) provides compensation for non-military federal employees injured in the course and scope of employment as long as the injury was not self-inflicted or a result of intoxication.  The Federal Employment Liability Act (FELA) protects injured interstate railroad workers.  The Black Lung Act requires mine operators to compensate miners who contract Black Lung Disease.  The Merchant Marine Act protects seamen in the same way that FELA protects railroad workers.

If you sustained a work-related injury and you would like to pursue a workers’ compensation claim, call me for a free consultation and case evaluation.  I recover a fee only if I recover compensation for you.
