One of the great things about Minnesota workers’ comp is that there are options for employees that settle their case and then later develop conditions as a result of the work injury they previously settled. There are four scenarios where a prior settlement can be “vacated.”
- Mutual Mistake of Fact
- Newly Discovered Evidence
- Fraud
- Substantial Change in Medical Condition
The most commonly asserted basis is change in medical condition. For this basis you must show that there was a substantial change in medical condition that was not anticipated and could not reasonably have been anticipated at the time of the Award. You must also show that the change in medical condition is related to the work-injury. Here’s the applicable Statute.
