It is important to talk to your licensed insurance agent at Variant Insurance Group about how workers compensation functions in Minnesota. Sometimes it acts as a form of disability insurance, other times as a form of compensation for economic loss, reimbursement of medical expenses, benefits payable to dependents of someone who may have been killed as well as a number of additional situations.
