Even though you were not assigned a permanent partial disability rating doesn’t mean your injury is not permanent. In Minnesota Worker’s Compensation benefits can be available for you... View More

Roraff fees are paid to an attorney directly by the insurer, rather than as a percentage of your benefits. Your attorney can explain to you how and why he or she received those fees and and upon what they were based.
