From a labor standpoint, Mankato is often considered to be the urban hub of a wider range of communities in Blue Earth County and Nicollet County, including Eagle Lake, Lake Crystal, St. Peter and North Mankato.

Five postsecondary institutions in the area are also noteworthy employment centers. All in all, there is a great variety of work environments in which employees are sometimes injured or fall ill due to occupational diseases.

Our workers’ compensation lawyers guide such workers through the process of maximizing their workers’ comp claim.
