When you’re injured outside of Minnesota or when you’re injured inside of Minnesota, even though you don’t work here, there are different jurisdictional rules as to whether or not you’d have a claim under the Minnesota worker’s compensation act or a different state’s worker’s compensation act.  Each – the worker’s compensation system is very state-specific.  Minnesota happens to have one of the most complex structures in the 50 states.  Also, we have one of the better benefits structures.

So you need – in some cases you’ll have the ability to decide which worker’s compensation system to choose, whether it be Minnesota or another system.  So it’s important to consult an attorney.  These are complicated issues and you want to make sure that you are making the best choices for you and your future.
