Minnesota Rehabilitation Rights and Responsibilities of Injured Worker are the legal rights and duties of the injured worker and the workers' compensation insurer when an injury has occurred on the job. These rights and responsibilities are outlined in Minnesota Statutes section 176.101 et seq. There are three primary types of Minnesota Rehabilitation Rights and Responsibilities of Injured Worker: 1. Rights to Return to Work: The injured worker has the right to return to the same or a similar job position as soon as medically possible, and the employer must make reasonable accommodations for that return. 2. Rights to Medical Care: The injured worker has the right to receive medical treatment for the injury or illness related to the job. The employer must provide for reasonable medical care, including reasonable transportation costs, for the injured worker. 3. Rights to Vocational Rehabilitation: If an injured worker is unable to return to their previous job, the employer must provide the injured worker with reasonable access to vocational rehabilitation services. The employer is responsible for ensuring the injured worker is able to obtain the necessary training and skills needed to enter a new job. These rights are the legal framework in which Minnesota's workers' compensation system operates, and are designed to help injured workers obtain medical care, vocational rehabilitation, and return to work.
