Mankato Workers Compensation Attorneys – Call Us Today to Speak to An Attorney
If you were hurt at work—or a medical condition was caused or worsened by your job—you may be eligible for Minnesota workers’ compensation benefits, including medical care, wage-loss benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and compensation for permanent disability. Minnesota’s workers’ compensation system is generally no-fault, but injured workers still must establish that the injury or condition is work-related and that the requested benefits are supported.
Talk with a local workers’ compensation attorney about your options. Harvey & Carpenter represents injured workers in Mankato and throughout Southern Minnesota. There is no charge for an initial consultation, and we do not collect attorney fees unless we recover benefits for you. Call 507-779-7529, text 507-223-3481, or request a free consultation online.
Compensation for All Types of Injuries
Work-related injuries are not limited to sudden accidents. A condition may also develop gradually or become worse because of repeated tasks, exposure, or other job duties. Common workers’ compensation matters we handle in Mankato and Southern Minnesota include:
- Back and neck injuries. Heavy lifting, repetitive movement, falls, and other workplace demands can lead to serious injuries that may require treatment such as back fusion or cervical fusion.
- Carpal tunnel and repetitive-stress injuries. These conditions can develop over time from repeated hand, wrist, arm, or other movements at work.
- Knee and shoulder injuries. Repetitive physical work or a specific accident may aggravate an existing condition or lead to treatment such as a knee replacement or shoulder replacement.
- PTSD and other mental health conditions. Certain traumatic workplace events may support a Minnesota workers’ compensation claim. Learn more about work-related PTSD claims.
- Overuse injuries. Repeated job duties can affect tendons, muscles, joints, and other soft tissues throughout the body.
- Occupational diseases. Workplace exposures can cause serious illnesses, including respiratory conditions such as silicosis.
Workers’ compensation benefits may include reasonable and necessary medical treatment, wage-loss benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and compensation for permanent disability. The benefits available depend on the facts and medical evidence in each claim.
