“I had two accidents that were not my fault and was injured. The insurance company didn’t want to pay for the second accident saying my injuries were all from the first one. After my lawyers filed a lawsuit the insurance company changed their tune real fast. I am so happy I hired these guys because they never gave-up and pushed until I got paid.”

Construction Site Injuries
The state of Minnesota is constantly seeing new change with the construction of more buildings. While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration takes steps to ensure worker safety, construction workers are still highly susceptible to injury and accident death while on the job.
Some common construction injuries include:
- Slip and falls
- Power tool accidents
- Electrical burns
- Trench accidents
- Head injuries from falling objects
- Crane accidents
- Scaffolding accidents
- Welding accidents
The first thing we must do in a construction worker case is to determine who was at fault. Were the general contractor and project owner observing all safety measures? Were OSHA standards followed? Was any equipment faulty? Were the workers provided with the proper gear and tools? Was anyone negligent? Was all equipment inspected properly? Once we know the answer to these questions, we can begin to build a case that maximizes your possibility for recovery.
Fighting the Insurance Companies to Get You Coverage
Insurance companies may claim that your work injury is related to a previous accident, or that the injuries are not from work. If insurance companies deny your claim, you may be forced to pay all medical expenses out of pocket. Let our strategic team battle with reticent insurance companies and fight for your recovery. Whether you live in Minneapolis, Plymouth, Brooklyn Park, or another part of Minnesota, we are here to help.

FAQ for a work injury lawyer in Minnesota
Can I be fired while on workers comp in Minnesota?
There is a law in Minnesota that prevents employers from firing employees for seeking workers compensation benefits. The law also states that an employer cannot intentionally obstruct an employee from seeking workers compensation benefits.
What qualifies as injury on duty?
An accident must be reported when an employee meets with an accident arising out of and in the course of employment resulting in a personal injury for which medical treatment is required. Written or verbal notice of an injury at work is to be given to the employer before the completion of the shift.
How does workman's comp work in Minnesota?
