Common Factory Injuries and Industrial Hazards in Minnesota

Factory work exposes you to hazards capable of causing severe, lasting harm. Some of the most common factory injuries our attorneys see across St. Paul include:

• Crush injuries and amputations
• Severe lacerations and degloving
• Electrical and thermal burns
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Caught-in injuries from conveyor systems
• Repetitive strain from prolonged assembly-line tasks

Overcoming Denials Based on Pre-Existing Conditions and IMEs

Minnesota workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means you can receive benefits for a work injury regardless of who caused it. After you report your injury, your employer’s insurer reviews the claim and either accepts or denies it.

One of the most common grounds for denial is the argument that your injury existed before the accident. To support that position, insurers often send you to an independent medical examination, or IME, with a physician they select and pay. That doctor may conclude your condition stems from age, prior wear, or an old injury rather than your job.

Minnesota law still protects you when factory work aggravates or accelerates a pre-existing condition. Our St. Paul factory workers’ comp attorneys counter a one-sided IME with your treating physician’s records, which establish a clear link between the accident and your current condition. From there, we can file your appeal and pursue your benefits through settlement, mediation, or a hearing.

Types of Workers’ Comp Benefits Available for Factory Workers

Depending on how your injury affects your ability to earn a living, you may qualify for the following benefits:

• All reasonable and necessary medical care related to your injury
• Temporary disability benefits, which replace a portion of your lost wages while you recover
• Permanent disability benefits, which are available if your injury leaves you with a lasting impairment
• Vocational rehabilitation if your injury prevents you from returning to your former role
• Death benefits, which are awarded to surviving family members if a factory worker dies on the job
