To offer a different perspective on the topic of claim adjusters, we turned to our Legal Analyst with the firm, Vanessa Washington. Vanessa has extensive experience in the insurance industry with a focus on workers’ compensation. Vanessa’s primary role with Meuser, Yackley & Rowland, P.A. is to support the attorneys by analyzing the value of each case, providing case law research, and facilitating negotiations.

As a former claim adjuster, I can tell you not all claim adjusters are bad people. They are there to help you as best they can. There are ways that you can help your claim progress more smoothly.

Retired Officer Brandy Steberg takes issue with the way the City of Minneapolis has communicated his exit from the Police Department

Minneapolis, MN August 19, 2020 – Retired Minneapolis Police Officer Brandy Steberg announced today that he is seeking to set the record straight when it comes to his departure from the Department. Steberg and another officer, Mark Bohnsack were initially terminated following a November 2018 incident at the department’s fourth precinct. While Bohnsack got his job back through arbitration, the city has insinuated through the media that Steberg was fired when in truth he was not.

The general answer is yes, and the employee’s burden of proof to establish a workers’ compensation claim was just reduced for first responders, including Corrections Officers, who work at Minnesota’s 11 correctional facilities.

Jen Yackley & I originally met with Dana (who wrote the story below), her husband Ed & his service dog Rex to hear their story and learn how I can help. They founded an organization called Solder’s 6 whose mission is to provide honorably discharged veterans, police officers, and firefighters with specially trained K-9 dogs. The support they provide these brave individuals is nothing short of amazing and, unfortunately, very needed. We hear from our police officer & firefighter clients with PTSD that the suffering doesn’t end when the job is over and many don’t want the job to end. Dana and Ed’s story is very real, heartbreaking, and a reminder that we must be continuously supportive in any way we can.  Please join Meuser, Yackley & Rowland, P.A. in supporting this worthy organization by going to https://www.soldiers6.com/how-can-i-help.
