Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Claims

A successful claim covers medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation and even disability for nearly all workers. The process involves notifying the employer, seeking medical treatment and submitting a claim. An attorney can improve your workers’ compensation claim, ensuring it accurately reflects your injuries and losses.

Types Of Workplace Accidents

An accident at work can happen in several ways. Understanding how they occur may help you avoid an injury. Common causes include:

Slips and falls: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, working at heights
Machinery accidents: Lack of safety controls, equipment malfunctions, operator inexperience
Construction site accidents: Falling objects, scaffolding collapses, falls, electrical malfunctions
Repetitive strain injuries: Typing, assembly line work, providing health care
Exposure to hazardous materials: Biological agents, chemicals, mold, diseases

Vehicle accidents involving company cars can also lead to severe injuries for employees.
