When you work at Mayo Clinic, you dedicate yourself to caring for others, but sometimes accidents occur that leave you needing care yourself. Whether you experience a slip and fall, repetitive strain injury, or exposure to hazardous materials, your injury deserves proper attention and compensation.
At Kemmitt, Sanford & Kramer, our Minneapolis workers’ compensation attorneys have helped numerous medical professionals navigate their workers’ compensation claims. We fight to secure the benefits you deserve while alleviating the stress of handling complicated paperwork and insurance negotiations.
Minnesota’s workers’ compensation system protects you when workplace injuries occur. Under this system, injured employees have the right to file a claim and recover benefits to help pay for injury-related expenses, including medical bills and a portion of their lost wages.
When you file a workers’ compensation claim, you file it with Mayo Clinic‘s insurance carrier, not directly against your employer. These cases also operate differently from personal injury lawsuits. You don’t need to prove fault or negligence—you simply need to demonstrate that your injury occurred during the course of your employment.
However, the paperwork can be complex, and insurance companies may deny claims for various reasons. A Minneapolis healthcare worker injury attorney from Kemmitt, Sanford & Kramer can help file your claim correctly and completely, maximizing your chances of receiving fair benefits.
The demanding nature of medical work, combined with long hours and physical requirements, can put Mayo Clinic workers at serious risk of harm. Common injuries in healthcare settings include:
If you were hurt while working at Mayo Clinic, acting quickly and following proper procedures strengthens your workers’ compensation claim. First, seek immediate medical attention, even if your injury seems minor.
These medical records provide essential documentation of your injury, which strengthens your claim. During your medical appointments, clearly state that your visit relates to a work-related injury or illness.
Report your injury to your supervisor as soon as possible and ensure that a workers’ compensation claim is filed. Mayo Clinic should file the claim with their insurance provider. Most importantly, consult with a Minnesota workers’ compensation attorney who can guide you through the process and protect your rights.
Insurance companies sometimes deny legitimate claims, but you have options. You can appeal the denial with the insurer itself, request mediation through Minnesota’s Department of Labor and Industry, or file for a formal hearing to challenge the company’s decision.
Whichever option you choose to pursue, Kemmitt, Sanford & Kramer will handle the process on your behalf and fight for your right to fair and full benefits.
Workplace injuries happen more often than you might expect, even in prestigious medical facilities like Mayo Clinic. Kemmitt, Sanford & Kramer provides dedicated legal support to help you secure the benefits you need.
