Healthcare workers face significant injury risks every day, with Park Nicollet employees being no exception. The demanding nature of medical work creates multiple hazard points that can lead to serious workplace injuries, such as:
If you are injured while working with Park Nicollet, seek medical attention immediately. Make sure to inform your physician that your injury is work-related. Then, notify Park Nicollet about your injury as soon as possible.
Your employer must file a First Report of Injury form following your notification, though you should follow up to ensure this step is completed. The workers’ compensation insurer will then send you a Notice of Insurer’s Primary Liability Determination form, either accepting or denying your claim.
Generally, employers like Park Nicollet are protected from direct liability because workers’ compensation insurance covers workplace injuries. But if Park Nicollet fails to maintain proper workers’ compensation coverage or follow self-insurance procedures, you may seek benefits through Minnesota’s Special Compensation Fund or file a civil lawsuit against the company.
Filing a workers’ compensation claim while recovering from an injury can be overwhelming, especially when insurance companies delay or deny legitimate claims. This is why it is so important to hire a Minnesota workers’ compensation attorney from the beginning. At Kemmitt, Sanford & Kramer, we level the playing field against insurers and advocate aggressively for the benefits you deserve.
Our attorneys gather medical records, coordinate with your doctors to document the full extent of your injuries, and connect you with the right specialists for your condition. We negotiate directly with insurance adjusters, file all necessary paperwork before deadlines, and represent you at hearings if your claim is disputed. When insurers try to cut off your benefits prematurely or force you back to work too soon, we fight back with medical evidence and aggressive negotiation.
Minnesota law generally requires filing workers’ compensation claims within three years of injury if a first report was filed, or six years if no first report exists. However, numerous exceptions apply. Contact an attorney right away to determine your deadline.
If you were hurt while working at Park Nicollet, your workers’ compensation claim deserves the same level of precision and care you provide your patients. Contact Kemmitt, Sanford & Kramer at (877) 630-7338 to discuss how we can help secure the benefits necessary for your complete recovery.
