Proud To Protect Injured Workers

Medical Treatment For A Work Injury

If you suffered an on-the-job accident injury that requires medical treatment, you know how important that treatment is. It is vitally important that you get the medical care you need to recover from injuries as fully as possible.

In Minnesota, employees are entitled under the law to free medical care for job-related injuries. This is paid for by their employers’ workers’ compensation insurance carriers. To make sure you can access the free medical care you are entitled to under the law, talk your case over with experienced workers’ compensation lawyer Gerald W. Bosch, founder of Bosch Law Firm He has served injured workers in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and throughout Minnesota for more than 25 years. For a free initial consultation about your specific case, call 651-333-8300.

What Medical Benefits Are You Entitled To Receive?

Minnesota workers’ compensation law provides for “reasonable and necessary” medical treatment of employees who have suffered occupational injuries or illnesses. This is provided at absolutely no cost to the employee. In most cases, you can select your own doctors. This may not be true if your Medicare is covered under a workers’ compensation managed Medicare policy.

Medical workers’ compensation benefits cover emergency room treatment, surgeries, hospitalization, medications, medical equipment, chiropractic care, rehabilitative treatment, nursing care and more. In addition to medical benefits, you may be entitled to wage loss benefits for time spent away from work, or for the loss of future earning potential.

We Know The Challenges You Face – And Can Help You Respond

While you have the right to free medical care after an on-the-job injury, employers and insurance companies are motivated to limit what they cover. This results in unfair workers’ compensation denials.

Was your employer or its insurer reluctant to recognize the severity of your job injury, to the degree that your workers’ compensation medical benefits were delayed, denied or underpaid? We will conduct an in-depth investigation of the circumstances leading to your work accident, bring the facts of your case to skillful negotiations with employers, and if these discussions are not productive, will not hesitate to aggressively protect your rights in court.

Gerald W. Bosch has been to the homes and hospital rooms of his clients. He knows the challenges you face. Simply recovering from a workplace accident injury, in order to return to work, can be an ordeal in itself. You should not have to be concerned about how your employer and its insurer will view what you have been through. Mr. Bosch educates, advocates, negotiates and – if necessary – litigates in court to ensure that your rights are protected.

Can I Get A Second Medical Opinion?

Oftentimes, the workers’ compensation process requires you to see a specific doctor. You can see a doctor of your choosing, but you will also need to see any doctor that the process requires.

How Long Can I File For Workers’ Compensation?

Minnesota law requires that any employee who received a workplace injury file a claim within two years of the date of injury. After that time, they will no longer be able to file a claim.
