What Is Workers' Compensation?
Workers' Compensation is a system designed to protect both the employee and employer in work-related injury accidents. The public policy behind workers' comp is to guarantee benefits for injured workers but also to protect employers from being sued (unless the employer intentionally caused the injury). This is accomplished by mandating workers' comp insurance. In Minnesota, benefits are administered via the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
What Benefits Does Workers' Compensation Provide?
The employer's insurance is responsible for providing workers' comp benefits that can include medical bills, lost wages/earnings, assistance in returning to work, lump sum settlements and death benefits MORE INFORMATION.
What Is a Work-Related Injury?
Only work-related injuries are covered by workers' compensation. While in many cases it is clear when an injury occurs at or during work, others are not. Some injuries are due to repetitive motions over time. Some commuting injuries are covered. Our attorney can discuss the specifics of your work injury with you.
What Is Third-Party Liability?
Workers' compensation bars injured employees from making a personal injury claim against the employer or an employee, unless in the rare instance they are grossly negligent in causing the injury. An injured worker can always make a personal injury claim against a negligent party. Examples include a manufacturer due to faulty machinery, subcontractor for inadequate inspections, the owner of a premise in a slip-and-fall, or an at-fault driver in car accidents. Only in a personal injury lawsuit can an injured worker seek additional damages for pain and suffering.
