Under Minnesota law, your employer must provide workers' compensation insurance after a work-related accident, injury, or illness. If you file an insurance claim, you may be entitled to a range of benefits, including payment for lost wages, compensation for medical or hospital bills, or vocational support.

Two years: If you are harmed or injured by intentional misconduct such as situations involving assault, battery, libel/slander/defamation or false imprisonment, you generally have two years to file your suit. Four years: If you are the victim of medical malpractice, you have four years to file your suit.

Workers' compensation provides three basic types of benefits: wage loss, medical and vocational rehabilitation.

As of October 2022, the SAWW (and maximum workers' compensation amount) is $1,287 per week, and the maximum is 102% of that or $1,312.74 per week. Workers receiving TTD benefits are also protected by a minimum cap of 20% of the maximum ($262.55 per week in 2022) or the employee's weekly wage, whichever is less.

Claim process -- Waiting period after injury. In Minnesota, the workers' compensation waiting period starts on the first day of any lost time and is three calendar-days long. Wage-loss benefits for an injured worker are not paid for the waiting period unless the disability continues for 10 calendar-days or longer.
