What kind of compensation can I receive?
If you have been hurt at work — whether in a ladder or scaffolding fall at a construction site, a slip and fall accident while working at a retail store or have sustained a back injury from continuous lifting motions as a health care aid — you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Your employer's insurance company pays the benefits and the Workers' Compensation Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry oversees the program. You may be entitled to the following benefits:
- Lost wages called Temporary Total Disability (TTD)
- Payment of medical bills
- payment for your injury — a percentage of disability (PPD)
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Payment for a reduction in wages (TPD)
- Payment for permanent total disability
- Receive payment for repetitive work injuries and traumatic work injuries
Back injury is the most common form of on-the-job injury. These claims can be difficult to pursue. Many people with back injuries appear healthy, and it often takes extensive medical opinions to ensure the claim is handled appropriately. Our firm can keep your claim on track and help make sure that you receive the benefits your entitled to. We are often able to have requests granted for workers' compensation to cover the cost of pain medication and medical bills.
We go the extra mile to ensure your case is as strong as possible. I personally interview witnesses to ensure the highest possible likelihood of success! I personally guarantee you my best effort to win your case! After you call me, you will be glad you did!
