Types Of Workers’ Compensation Benefits In Minnesota

If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to benefits including:

• Wage loss: Those injured in the workplace may be paid for total wage loss or partial wage loss. Total wage loss is paid at two-thirds of the wage at the time of the injury. Partial wage loss is paid at two-thirds of the wage differential between your wage at the time of the injury and your current wage. Certain limitations exist as to how long a person may be entitled to either of these benefits, and they depend on the date of the injury.
• Medical benefits: You are entitled to medical benefits whether or not you have health insurance through your own employer or your spouse’s employer.
• Vocational rehabilitation: You may be entitled to vocational benefits, including retraining for your position. Speak to our Minnesota workers’ compensation benefits attorney to learn if this applies to your case.

Other disability benefits in Minnesota include permanent partial disability (PPD), which is for the loss of function (or a certain percentage of a whole body part). The type and manner in which these benefits are paid can vary drastically. At Atkinson Gerber Law Office, we can quickly determine if you are eligible for these benefits.
