Workers' Compensation Claims:
State law entitles you to Workers' Compensation benefits when you are injured on the job, as well as benefits for dependents if a family member dies due to a work-related illness or accident. Your Minnesota employer is required to carry Workers' Comp insurance. Federal law provides similar benefits for employees of the U.S. government or Postal Service. These laws ensure that injured workers are provided with the necessary health care that may be required to treat their injuries and replace some of their lost wages. If your disability is permanent, you may be entitled to an award for loss of future earnings, as well as Social Security Disability benefits. The amount of your award depends, in part, on whether your disability is total (100%) or partial. You will need to get a report from a doctor evaluating the extent of your disability. If your disability in not total or permanent, you may be entitled to retraining or rehabilitation benefits.
Knowing how to obtain and interpret medical records is essential in making a successful claim for a Workers' Compensation award. That is why the attorneys at Midwest Disability spend almost as much time keeping up on developments in medicine and physical therapy as they do on the law.
