Well what does that mean? To you the injured worker it means you have a strong chance of receiving an NOPLD (Notice of Primary Liability Determination) denying your claim. Insurance companies benefit because they pay less claims, employers benefit because they pay less premiums, lawyers like me benefit because of the increase number of claims fighting to figure out what constitutes "increased risk of harm" results in more fees, and YOU the injured worker lose. You lose because often you simply give up and walk away or lose because now you have to fight for your delayed benefits. You are the big loser in this wrong-headed case.
What can you do if your claim is denied? First contact Atkinson Law Office and then contact your state representative and demand the laws be changed! Simply click HERE to contact an expert workers compensation attorney at Atkinson Law Office or click HERE to find out the name of your Minnesota state representative or senator.
