Client Success Story: Benefits paid despite employer not carrying Workers’ Compensation insurance.
An injured worker contacted our law firm after he suffered an injury that involved being hit and dragged underneath a vehicle. His injuries included numerous bruises to his body and third-degree burns to his lower back.
The injured worker was able to return to work in one week, and his employer paid him for the missed time. However, his medical bills became an issue when we learned that his employer did not have Workers’ Compensation insurance.
Our Workers’ Compensation attorneys filed a claim on behalf of our client with the State of Minnesota. The Minnesota Special Compensation Fund accepted liability for the claim and our client’s medical benefits were paid.
High-Risk Occupations

People who work in hot kitchens around boiling water, ovens, deep fryers, and stoves may suffer severe burns if they come into contact with surfaces or ingredients at high temperatures. - Power Line Technicians
Workers who install, repair, and replace power lines are at high risk of electrical injuries, as they may be exposed to lines carrying harmful and even deadly voltages. - Chemical Plant Workers
