What Benefits Can You Recover After a Work Injury
Depending on the severity of your injury or illness and how it affects your ability to work, you may recover several types of Minnesota workers’ comp benefits, including:
- Medical benefits: This coverage is provided for reasonable medical treatment such as doctor visits, surgery, prescriptions, physical therapy and mileage to medical appointment.
- Temporary partial disability: Partial wage-loss benefits you can receive if you can return to work but earn less because of your injury.
- Temporary total disability: Wage-loss benefits that are available if your injury keeps you completely off work for a period of time while you recover.
- Permanent partial disability: This is compensation for lasting impairment or loss of function caused by the injury, even if you return to work.
- Permanent total disability: You can get these ongoing benefits if the injury leaves you unable to work at all in the long term.
- Vocational rehabilitation: This may include job training or other assistance if you cannot return to your old job because of the injury.
- Dependency benefits: If a work injury results in death, eligible surviving family members may receive death benefits, including wage replacement and funeral-related benefits.
Learning about the available workers’ comp benefits and acting promptly can help protect your rights, health and financial interests.
Minnesota’s Deadlines Are Strict – Act Before You Lose Your Right To Benefits
Minnesota’s legal deadlines are strict and missing them can put your right to benefits at risk. After your accident, you need to report your injury to your employer within 14 days. Going over this two-week window may lead to disputes or delays.
You also have three years from the day you got injured to file your workers’ compensation claim, and waiting too long can jeopardize your right to receive medical care and other benefits. Because exceptions and special rules may apply, it is best to take action as soon as possible after a workplace accident.
