If you have been injured at work or on-the-job in Minnesota, you could be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Workers' compensation was created to minimize the impact of work-related injuries on workers and employers. The benefits are paid by the employer's insurance company, and the system is administered by the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry, Workers' Compensation Division. These benefits can include compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, as well as temporary or permanent disability that results from your work injury.
