Weekly Compensation Benefits
The length of work comp benefits differs from state to state, and depending on the type of benefit. Disability is classified in two different ways,

How to Determine Work Comp Eligibility in MN
All employers in the state of Minnesota re required to have sufficient work comp insurance to cover their employees in the event of an accident. But just because you are injured doesn’t mean you will automatically receive benefits. There are rules and regulations that determine whether a specific injury is eligible for work comp. For example, the injury must have taken place on work property and during work hours. Negligence also plays a role in determining eligibility and benefits. Finally, the extent and severity of the injury have a bearing on the type of benefits granted.
Red Tape
There is a lot of red tape in place that often delays or prevents employees entirely from getting the benefits they need and deserve. That’s one of the primary reasons why it’s a great idea to have a work comp lawyer by your side to uphold your rights as an employee and make sure your employer and their insurer provides you the necessary benefits. Employers and their insurers are ultimately concerned about their bottom lines. As a result, employees are often taken advantage of and not given the care and compensation they are entitled to.
