Fields Law handles several different kinds of injury and disability claims, including:

If you’ve been hurt on the job, our workers’ compensation lawyers are here to help you get the benefits you need to support your family while you get better. We know the workers’ compensation process can be confusing, and we’re here to lead you through it. - Long Term Disability
Long term disability insurance coverage is supposed to provide you with compensation when an injury or medical condition keeps you from working. Our long-term disability lawyers will help you file a claim for benefits with your insurer or protect your rights if your claim was denied. - Social Security Disability

What is the difference between Workers Compensation, Social Security Disability, and Long Term Disability insurance?
- Workers Compensation
Most employers in Minnesota are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you are injured at work, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance may compensate you for your injuries and lost wages, regardless of how long it takes you to return to work. - Social Security Disability (SSD)
The Social Security system is funded by taxes and administered by the federal government. In addition to workers’ compensation, Social Security disability benefits are available to injured workers if they meet certain criteria and their injury is expected to keep them from working for at least one year or result in death. - Long Term Disability Insurance
Long Term Disability insurance is provided by private insurance companies. Sometimes your employer will offer it as part of a benefits package, but in many cases, you must choose to participate and pay the premiums. Long Term Disability plans vary based on the insurance company and the level of coverage you choose.
Your eligibility for Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability benefits can play an important role in determining your eligibility for Long Term Disability benefits. If you were hurt on the job, you may be eligible for more than one type of benefit.
