How To Navigate The Minnesota Workers’ Comp Process

After suffering a work injury in Minnesota, the workers’ comp process typically begins with the injured worker reporting the injury to the employer and seeking medical attention as soon as possible. It is the employer’s responsibility to file a First Report of Injury notice with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.

You may be entitled to a number of benefits, depending on the nature and extent of your injury. Remember, however, that the insurer’s priority is not in helping you get maximum compensation for your injury; rather, the insurer is interested in paying out as little as is required by law.
