Workers' Compensation
We represent clients in securing workers' compensation benefits for job-related injuries. Our expertise covers medical expense coverage, wage replacement, and vocational rehabilitation. With decades of experience handling Minnesota claims, we ensure timely approval of benefits while negotiating fair settlements that address both immediate and long-term needs.
Occupational Disease Claims
Specialized representation for occupational diseases developed through workplace exposure. We handle complex cases involving repetitive motion injuries, chemical exposure illnesses, and chronic conditions. Our approach combines medical documentation with employment history to establish eligibility for ongoing compensation and treatment coverage.
Disability Benefits
We advocate for temporary and permanent disability benefits when injuries limit work capacity. Our practice addresses partial disability cases with reduced wages and total disability scenarios requiring long-term support. We calculate appropriate compensation based on pre-injury earnings and medical prognosis to maximize client financial security.
Filing Claims
Guidance through the entire workers' compensation claim process from initial filing to dispute resolution. We prepare comprehensive documentation, meet deadlines for occupational disease claims, and challenge denied applications. Our experience streamlines submissions to minimize delays in receiving medical and financial benefits.
Union Member Representation
Dedicated legal support for union members from Boilermakers, Carpenters, Laborers, and other local chapters. We leverage union relationships to strengthen claims while protecting members' rights. Our union shop background ensures understanding of collective bargaining agreements and workplace-specific injury circumstances.
