There are some gaps in your question that I would need to discuss with you before I can give you a solid answer. It doesn't really matter whether your employer has insurance in Minnesota, that is an issue for them not you. In MN an there is a back up policy or employee's injured in Minnesota where the employer is not insured. Contact me and let's discuss.

You may have a choice of being covered under either Illinois or Minnesota workers' compensation law. Illinois benefits are better than Minnesota's. Please feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further.
