Minneapolis Work Injury Lawyers
Work Accident Attorneys You Can Trust
Even though most people go to work and are able to do their jobs safely, it takes just one mistake or one piece of failed equipment to leave you with a serious injury. Fortunately, state and federal laws are in place to protect most workers who suffer an injury on the job. The bad news? Employers and insurance companies sometimes doubt the severity of your injuries or your version of the events that led to the accident, leaving you unable to take advantage of the workers’ compensation benefits.
If this happens to you, the Minneapolis work injury lawyers at Tyroler Leonard Injury Law are ready to help. We will stand up to unfair insurers that are denying your claim. We do not back down in complex situations, because we know how important the workers’ comp benefits and settlements are for your and your family’s financial well-being. Let us give you the benefit of our decades of collective experience.
How Our Minneapolis Work Injury Lawyers Can Help with Your Case
After you suffer an injury at work, you may not be sure how to proceed. This can be a challenging process, especially when you are in the midst of a recovery. Having to take steps to deal with a workers’ compensation claim at the same time you are unable to work and are having to see multiple doctors is difficult to tackle on your own.
Because of the experience our work accident lawyers have helping victims of accidents at the job site, we know the ins and outs of the Minnesota workers’ compensation program and the Wisconsin workers’ compensation program. We take steps to make sure that your case falls within all deadlines. We collect all the evidence needed to show the insurance company why your injuries are real and why you deserve compensation.
Our Work Accident Lawyers Can Help You Find the Best Possible Doctor for Your Injuries
Minnesota state law allows victims of workplace injury accidents to select their own doctors, if they choose to do so. In some other states, victims must visit the doctor that the employer or insurance company selects. Our Minneapolis work injury attorneys can help you find the ideal doctor for the types of injuries you have, thanks to our multiple professional relationships with medical experts of all kinds in the Twin Cities area. We can help you connect with doctors who focus on areas ranging from traumatic physical injuries to occupational illnesses and diseases to anything in between.

We appreciate the opportunity to tell your story in front of judges at hearings and appeals whenever necessary.
Tyroler Leonard Injury Law also relies heavily on our negotiating skills to give you the level of service that you need. When insurance companies don’t want to acknowledge the severity of your injuries and how they will affect your life for years to come, we bring facts to negotiating sessions that force the insurers to listen to your concerns. We do not back down when insurance companies are treating you unfairly. In fact, such treatment only makes us redouble our efforts on your behalf, which is why so few insurers want to see our workers’ compensation law firm sitting across from them at the negotiating table.

Do I Have to Hire Minneapolis Work Injury Attorneys?
Nothing in Wisconsin or Minnesota state law requires injured employees to hire legal representation. As an injured worker, you are free to go through the workers’ comp process on your own, if desired.
However, because of the complexity of the steps that you need to follow to win the payments you should have under the workers’ compensation system, it can be tough to go it alone. Our work accident lawyers have extensive experience dealing with cases like this, and we are ready to put our experience to work on your behalf. Additionally, if you were working under unsafe work conditions, these conditions could have played a role in your injury at the job site. At Tyroler Leonard Injury Law, we know how to bring your concerns up, with facts behind them that force those in charge to listen to you.
To make the entire workers’ comp process more affordable and more comfortable for you, we offer a free review of your case, where you can decide whether you want to hire us. Additionally, we work for you on a contingency fee basis, which means we do not charge you anything ahead of time to secure our services. We only receive a payment if we win an award for you.
Our Minneapolis Work Injury Lawyers Can Help If You Receive a Claim Denial
Rather than hiring our Minneapolis work injury lawyers immediately after the accident occurs, some of our clients attempt to file their workers’ compensation claim themselves, at least initially. However, what they may find is that missing a step in the claim filing process or not completely explaining the injury to the doctor results in a denial of the claim from the insurance company.
Should this happen to you, reach out to our Minneapolis work injury lawyers. We may be able to take on your case in the middle of the process, working to help you overcome a denial of your claim. Many people find it easier to just hire our workers’ comp law firm at the time of the injury, but we also work with clients who need our help after a claim denial.
Common Reasons an Insurance Company Denies a Work Injury Claim in Minneapolis
If the insurance company denies your workers’ compensation claim, we may be able to help if the denial occurred for certain reasons, including:
- Confusion about where the accident occurred: To qualify for workers’ compensation, the accident must have occurred while you were officially working. If the circumstances of the injury are unclear, the insurer may deny the claim.
- Accusation of injuring yourself on purpose: If your employer accuses you of injuring yourself on purpose to get out of work and to receive workers’ comp payments, the insurer will deny your claim. We must show facts that prove the injury was truly accidental.
- Pre-existing injury: If the insurance company believes you actually injured yourself previously, but you are trying to now say the injury occurred at work, it may deny your claim. We can find facts to refute this accusation.
- Under the influence: Insurers can deny your workers’ comp payment by claiming you were drunk or under the influence of drugs when the injury occurred. We can present facts that show this was not true.

What If a Faulty Machine Played a Role in My Workplace Injuries?
You can qualify for workers’ compensation after an injury you suffer during the performance of your duties at the jobsite, regardless of the reason for the accident.
