Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Laws provide benefits for employees injured in a workplace accident, regardless of whether the injury was caused by negligence. Filing a MN Workers’ Comp claim still involves dealing with an insurance company, however. You may find your claim delayed, denied or disputed in order to avoid paying all legitimate benefits. Minneapolis Workers’ Comp attorney Jeffrey Jones can assist you from day one in the correct filing of a Workmans’ Comp claim and the negotiation and litigation of disputes that may arise during the filing and appeals process.

You Can’t Be Fired for Making a Claim / Workers’ Compensation Discharge:

It is illegal for an employer to fire you for filing a workers’ Comp claim. You cannot be discharged simply for being hurt on the job and if an employer retaliates against you in this way, you may have additional claims and further recourse to compensation. Minneapolis Workers’ Compensation Jeffrey Jones and the entire staff at the Twin Cities law offices of Jeffrey A. Jones & Associates will aggressively investigate your claim to identify improper employment practices and secure damages beyond the original benefits claim.

Insurance Disputes:

An insurance policy is a legally binding contract. When the insurance company attempts to avoid their legal obligation and not pay a valid claim, you have the legal right to file a lawsuit seeking not only the original amount of the claim but also costs and punitive damages. Minneapolis insurance dispute attorney Jeffrey Jones will deal directly with the insurance company to aggressively protect your rights and recover the full amount of your claim.

Social Security / Long-Term Disability

If you become permanently disabled and cannot work, you have rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Our firm is skilled in the litigation of ERISA disputes and can address issues related to long and short-term disability and health insurance claims as well as other social security / disability and retirement benefits, including SSI, SSD and SSDI.
