Attorney Michael Schultz provides direct client access and will work exclusively with you throughout every step of your case.

Construction Accidents: Personal Injury And Workers’ Compensation Cases In Minneapolis
Usually, there are many companies working on a construction site at the same time, which makes injury claims complicated. If you get hurt on the job, you can seek workers’ compensation without having to prove your boss did anything wrong. The catch is that you cannot sue your employer directly.
However, you can sue a completely different company if their carelessness caused your accident. While workers’ comp only covers your medical bills and part of your lost wages, a lawsuit against that other company can pay you for your pain and suffering.
For example, if an HVAC installer steps on a staircase that a framing crew left loose and the stairs collapse, the worker has two different ways to get paid. They may collect workers’ comp from their own company, and they can also sue the home builder for the dangerous stairs.
