Workers Compensation Discrimination/Retaliation

​​Workers Compensation Retaliation in Minnesota

When an employee is injured on the job, Minnesota law requires that the employer pay for the employee’s medical treatment related to the injury and to compensate the employee for time off from work while the employee recovers from the injury.

Sometimes unscrupulous employers fire or terminate employees who seek workers compensation benefits or workman’s compensation benefits because they do not want to be held liable for ongoing medical treatment or compensating the employee for extended time away from work. Other times, employers attempt to discourage employees from filing a workers’ compensation claim or interfere with their attempt to file a workers’ compensation claim.

Minnesota law protects employees from retaliation if they file a claim for workers compensation benefits. Specifically Statute, 176.82 (Link)protects employees from retaliatory discharge for seeing worker’s compensation benefits.

Kuhlman Law protects victims of workers compensation retaliation and workman’s compensation retaliation.

  • Has your employer retaliated against you after you filed a workers’ compensation claim or workman’s compensation claim?
  • Have you been fired or terminated shortly after receiving workers’ compensation benefits?
  • Has your employer or boss threatened to fire you if you apply for workers’ compensation benefits?
  • Has your employer or boss told you to not file a workers’ compensation claim or told you not to go to a doctor after reporting a workplace injury?
