What Is Workers’ Compensation?

There are many myths and misunderstandings surrounding workers’ compensation. Employers have workers’ compensation insurance to cover the medical expenses and lost wages of employees who are hurt at work or otherwise suffering from a work-related injury or condition. Nearly all workers in Minnesota are eligible for workers’ compensation. However, it can be difficult to collect benefits because the insurance company will pull out all the stops to limit payouts. That’s why it is so crucial to have an experienced attorney advocating for your rights.
