Menk & Menk

If you were injured while on the job, you have a right to pursue workers' compensation to pay for your medical care and to compensate for your lost wages.

Consult with an attorney at Menk & Menk, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and we will listen to you and treat you with respect. Not only will we help you to complete your workers' compensation paperwork, we will help you to get the correct diagnosis for your condition. We promise to represent you fully until you are back on your feet.

Our lawyers have helped many workers in Hennepin County and throughout the Twin Cities to get the compensation they need for their workplace injuries. If you were injured while working, we can help obtain workers' comp in situations involving:

Construction accidents involving falling objects, heavy equipment, unsafe work environments and other hazards

Muscle and ligament tears, including rotator cuff injuries and torn ACLs from heavy lifting

Repetitive stress injuries on an assembly line, office or other venue

Workers' compensation was created as a way for employers to limit their liability to injured workers. By agreeing to pay for workers' medical care and lost work time without admitting fault, the employer avoids the risk of a lawsuit.

Many serious injuries require greater resources to treat than workers' compensation covers. Many of these injuries result in long-term or permanent disability of the injured worker. In such cases, our lawyers may be able to pursue additional damages in court from nonemployer parties who may have contributed to the injury, such as the employee of a subcontractor on a construction site, or a motorist who crashes into a worker who is making a delivery.

Finally, if your injury is likely to cause you long-term disability, we can help you to obtain Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income through the federal government. These payments are made monthly and can be adjusted according to your need.
