*The results are conditioned to the unique circumstances of each case. These results do not guarantee your case will result in the same compensation.
These benefits include the following:
There are many other types of benefits that you can collect when you are injured on the job in Minnesota.
These benefits are paid by the insurance company of the person or company that you were working for when injured. If the employer had no Workers’ Compensation insurance, you may be able to collect these benefits from the State of Minnesota.
IF YOU ARE INJURED ON THE JOB, you should immediately report the injury to your employer. They are responsible, not you, for filling out the first report of injury. Then, ask that the claim be turned over to the employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance company.
An attorney at Schmidt & Salita Law Team can assist you in getting these benefits. Even if you are receiving these benefits already, an attorney can help you to determine whether you are being paid the correct amount.
Under certain circumstances, you can collect Workers’ Compensation benefits and also make a claim against another party that might have been at fault in causing your injuries. For example, if you are injured on the job while driving or riding in a motor vehicle and injured in a motor vehicle accident which was caused by the negligence of another driver, you may have both a Workers’ Compensation claim and a Third-Party Claim against the other driver, or his automobile insurance company. Construction accidents caused by another party, companies responsible for faulty products, property owners, among other non-employer parties.
Attorney Dean Salita is one of a select handful of lawyers who practice in the areas of Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury. He is a frequently lecturer and advisor to other attorneys as to the interplay between the two systems. It is vitally important to maximize benefits when there are Work Comp and Third Party cases together.
I understand how overwhelming this can be. Let me handle the legal complexities while you focus on your recovery and getting back to normal.
Client Reviews
Google Review Schmidt Law Firm is so much more than the usual out for their back pocket firm they are a group of truly caring people. I was hit by a car & have memory loss. I don’t know how many times they all had to go over and over the same thing with me. They even gave me reminder calls for my doctors appointments. When things were so overwhelming I would call and all I could do is cry and they listened and never once complained or cut me short. Doug and Vanessa were all very helpful so was the rest of the staff. God Bless them all. By the way they got me a lot more than I had hoped for. You really don’t want to be on the opposing side of the table of Doug, he will rip you before you know he did it and he does it in such a nice way.
