When Should I File a Workers' Compensation Claim?
In general, it is a good idea to file a workers' compensation claim for any work-related injury, no matter how small. An injury that you may consider insignificant now could become much worse. Unfortunately, it may be too late to file a claim if the injury does worsen much later and you have not previously filed a workers' compensation claim. If you have filed, you will be covered. Remember, the Minnesota workers’ compensation system was established to protect the rights of injured workers. It's there for your use and benefit.
