About
Karl F. von Reuter is a Minneapolis attorney whose practice is devoted to representing injured employees in workers’ compensation matters. Since entering private practice after law school, he has represented workers rather than employers or insurers. His cases involve temporary and complex injuries, multiple dates of injury, loss of earning capacity, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation, retraining, permanent partial disability, and other benefits available under workers’ compensation laws.
Karl earned a J.D. from Hamline University School of Law in 1995 after graduating from Rutgers University in 1988 with a degree in Philosophy. During law school, he interned with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry and worked as a law clerk to workers’ compensation judges at the Office of Administrative Hearings. That early exposure gave him direct experience with the administrative system governing workplace injury claims.
Karl began private practice in 1995 and has focused exclusively on employee-side workers’ compensation representation. He handles claims involving disputed medical treatment, wage replacement, vocational services, permanent disability, and the impact of multiple injuries on a worker’s ability to return to employment. His practice also addresses specialized work-injury laws, including the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act and Defense Base Act matters when applicable.
Karl F. von Reuter brings decades of concentrated workers’ compensation experience to employees facing medical, vocational, and financial problems after workplace injuries. His background with the Department of Labor and Industry and workers’ compensation judges complements his private advocacy. He helps clients understand benefit categories, prepare for contested proceedings, and pursue compensation and services intended to support recovery and continued economic stability after a work injury.
