Your Workers’ Compensation Claim
Just like you wouldn’t expect your eye doctor to also be a specialist in cancer treatment, not every personal injury attorney has the knowledge or experience to competently handle work-related injuries and workers’ compensation claims. Workers’ compensation is a highly specialized area of law that few attorneys practice because of its complexity. It’s simply not an area of law that an attorney, even an injury attorney, can just “pick up” on occasion.

At Meuser & Associate, we have been practicing both personal injury and workers’ compensation law exclusively for nearly 20 years. Meuser & Associate, P.A. is unique in that our firm is knowledgeable and experienced in handling both serious personal injuries, such as motor vehicle accidents, as well as work-related injuries subject to workers’ compensation law.

The Wrong Attorney Can Cost You
Injury attorneys, who are not versed in the complexities of workers’ compensation law, are often not aware of the numerous rules, conditions, and exceptions that surround workers’ compensation claims in the state of Minnesota. As a result, even competent injury attorneys are often not fully aware of the extent of your benefits under current law and may inadvertently cause you to forego benefits and compensation that you may otherwise be entitled to.

If you are a city or state employee, your workers’ compensation claim becomes considerably more complex. Meuser & Associate is one of the few firms in the state with extensive experience successfully securing PERA disability, among other specialized benefits for police officers, fire fighters, paramedics and other city/county employees who’ve been injured on the job. Many injured workers represented by otherwise competent personal injury attorneys leave money on the table because they are simply not aware of how they could have obtained more. Hear what our clients have to say about their experience.

Why Not Obtain All That You Are Entitled To?
Over the years we have represented literally thousands of people who have been injured at work. An injury that occurs during the course and scope of your employment entitles you to another realm of benefits beyond those of a normal personal injury claim. These additional benefits include:

• Past and future wage loss
• Temporary total disability and temporary partial disability benefits
• Permanent partial disability benefits
• Rehabilitation services and retraining
• Permanent total disability benefits
• Medical expense reimbursement
• Mileage expense reimbursement
• And potential other benefits depending on your unique situation

Choose the Best Because You Can
Minnesota law requires that all workers’ compensation attorneys abide by the same fee arrangement. Specifically, attorney’s fees are paid on a contingency fee basis. This means that if we do not recover compensation or benefits for you, no attorney’s fees are owed. If we do recover monies on your behalf, we receive a percentage of the amount recovered – specifically 25% of the first $4,000 and 20% thereafter up to a maximum of $13,000 per injury. This compensation structure is set according to Minnesota law and is the same for every workers’ compensation attorney practicing in the state.

Since all attorneys handling workers’ compensation claims are paid the same, why not hire the best attorney for your situation? The attorney you choose to represent your interests does make a difference.
