We work hard to make sure every one of our clients receives maximum benefits to cover his or her medical treatment and lost wages.
Minnesota Workers We Represent
At Noack Law Office, we have more than 35 years of experience with workplace accidents, occupational diseases and all types of injuries. We represent clients throughout the state of Minnesota:
- Construction workers: Contractors, general contractors and subcontractors have incredibly dangerous jobs. That is why our team stands up for them after a serious injury.
- Meatpacking workers: We regularly represent meatpacking workers injured at Hormel, Jennie-O, and JBS Pork in Worthington, among other food industry employers.
- Factory employees and manufacturing workers: From repetitive stress injuries to machinery accidents, we help victims in factory and manufacturing jobs.
- Health care workers like nurses and nursing assistants: Health care jobs are very physical; back injuries, broken bones, neck trauma and other injuries may result.
- Office professionals who have experienced repetitive stress injuries: Office employees with mostly seated jobs may still experience carpal tunnel and other workplace injuries.
- Law enforcement personnel and firefighters: We protect the people who protect us when they need help with a workers’ comp claim for a major injury.
- Service workers, including restaurant and hotel employees: A slip-and-fall, burn, laceration or other injury may require a workers’ comp claim; we can help.
- City and state workers: If you are a public employee, you might face additional challenges during your claim. We navigate those challenges for you and uphold your rights.
Our lawyers have gone to trial in countless cases against employers and insurance companies that refuse to provide what the law says their workers are entitled to. We will do whatever it takes to make sure you receive the medical care and wage benefits you deserve.
Work Injury Benefits Available In Minnesota
Workers who suffer injuries or illnesses on the job are entitled to a range of benefits under the state’s workers’ compensation program. As in other regions, this system is designed to provide financial support and medical care to employees who have suffered injuries due to their employment activities.
The injury benefits available under the program allow injured workers to obtain the necessary assistance to recover and return to work. The types of wage loss and other work injury benefits available in Minnesota include:
- Temporary total disability (TTD) can support injured workers who are unable to work temporarily.
- Temporary partial disability (TPD) benefits are available for employees with some work capacity who earn less than their pre-injury wage.
- Permanent total disability (PTD) yields financial benefits for employees permanently unable to return to any gainful employment.
- Permanent partial disability (PPD) provides compensation for permanent impairment or loss of function, even if the employee can return to work.
- Dependency benefits are paid to the dependents of a worker who dies as a result of an occupational injury.
- Medical benefits that cover all reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to the work injury, including doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications and rehabilitation services.
- Vocational rehabilitation is typically available to injured workers who cannot return to their previous job, helping them find new employment through job training, job placement assistance and other support.
Along with these primary benefits, compensation for travel expenses related to medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation is also possible. It helps to ensure injured workers are not financially burdened by the costs of traveling to receive necessary care.
Minnesota’s workers’ compensation system aims to provide comprehensive support to injured workers, helping them recover and return to work as smoothly as possible.
Offering a range of benefits, from wage-loss compensation to medical and vocational rehabilitation, the program allows injured Minnesota employees to receive the assistance they need during a challenging time.
