Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Claims
A successful claim covers medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation and even disability for nearly all workers. The process involves notifying the employer, seeking medical treatment and submitting a claim. An attorney can improve your workers’ compensation claim, ensuring it accurately reflects your injuries and losses.
Types Of Workplace Accidents
An accident at work can happen in several ways. Understanding how they occur may help you avoid an injury. Common causes include:
- Slips and falls: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, working at heights
- Machinery accidents: Lack of safety controls, equipment malfunctions, operator inexperience
- Construction site accidents: Falling objects, scaffolding collapses, falls, electrical malfunctions
- Repetitive strain injuries: Typing, assembly line work, providing health care
- Exposure to hazardous materials: Biological agents, chemicals, mold, diseases
Vehicle accidents involving company cars can also lead to severe injuries for employees.
Common Injuries From Workplace Accidents
Unfortunately, a range of injuries is possible in a workplace accident, some severe.
- Broken bones: Falls, heavy impacts, vehicle collisions
- Spine, back and neck injuries: Heavy lifting, falling objects, falls
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI): Struck by objects, vehicle accidents, falls
- Burns and lacerations: Fires, explosions, chemical exposure, sharp objects
- Hearing loss: Loud machinery, construction sites, manufacturing factories
Treatment for disabling injuries like brain or spinal cord damage can be prohibitively expensive, requiring long-term care and treatment. A strong workers’ compensation claim helps you secure no-cost medical care.
