Minnesota Workplace Injury Attorney
In the State of Minnesota, companies are required by law to provide employees with worker’s compensation benefits if they are injured on the job with the condition that the injured employee(s) in turn will not sue the company for additional compensation.
Worker’s compensation benefits do not include monetary compensation for pain and suffering or reduced quality of life, however. Furthermore, in some cases, employees do not receive adequate compensation to cover their medical expenses if their injury prohibits them from working.
Because these worker’s compensation laws are in place, employers cannot be sued, however in some instances, a third party can be involved in an employee’s injury. For example:
- A product manufacturer can be held liable if an employee is injured by that faulty product at the workplace.
- A property owner can be held liable of an employee’s injury if the accident is a result of unsafe conditions on third party property.
- A third party can be held responsible of an employee’s injury if he or she is injured by a third party at their workplace.
