Biography
I handle all types of Minnesota workers compensation claims along with personal injury cases and social security disability. I do not recover unless you recover. Insurance companies try to pay as little as possible for your claims. As such, you need someone experienced and knowledgeable to fight for the benefits you deserve. Since 2003 I have been practicing as a Minnesota workers compensation attorney. Feel free to contact me for a free initial consultation.

- Q. I have a workers comp claim. I am at MMI with no permanent disability rating. Can I still get a settlement?
