In Minnesota, injured workers can pursue workers’ compensation benefits or, in certain cases, file a personal injury lawsuit. Workers’ compensation offers quicker benefits but limits the ability to sue. Choosing the right path depends on your situation, which we help evaluate thoroughly.
If your injury is straightforward and fully covered by workers’ compensation benefits, pursuing only this relief can save time and reduce legal complexities.
When employers readily provide appropriate compensation without dispute, limited legal intervention may be adequate.
In cases involving contested liability or severe injuries, additional legal claims may be required to secure full compensation.

In Minnesota, workers generally have four years from the date of injury to file a workers’ compensation claim. Filing as soon as possible is critical to ensure benefits are received timely and to avoid complications caused by delays or lost records.
Generally, workers’ compensation provides the exclusive remedy for workplace injuries, meaning you cannot sue your employer for most injuries. However, if third parties are responsible or employer misconduct is severe, additional legal claims may be possible with attorney guidance.
Benefits typically include medical care, wage replacement, and disability compensation depending on the injury’s severity. Your attorney will help you understand available benefits and how to claim them efficiently.
If your claim is denied, an appeal can be filed to challenge the decision. An attorney can assist in gathering evidence, submitting appeals, and representing you at hearings to improve the chance of approval.
Most workplace injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay if you recover compensation. This makes legal help accessible regardless of financial situation.
Even if your employer offers a settlement, it is wise to consult with an attorney before accepting anything. Early legal review ensures your rights are protected and the settlement is fair given your injury and future needs.
Workers’ compensation covers physical injuries and occupational illnesses caused or worsened by work conditions. This includes accidents, repetitive stress injuries, and exposure to harmful substances.
Case length varies widely depending on complexity, severity of injuries, and disputes involved. Some claims resolve in weeks; others may take months or longer if litigation is necessary.
Most cases settle without going to trial. However, if fair compensation cannot be reached through negotiation, litigation may be required. Your attorney will prepare you thoroughly if trial is necessary.
