Earlier this year, the Minnesota Legislature took a huge step, and passed legislation creating a workers’ compensation statutory presumption of PTSD for our state’s first responders. In other words, for certain workers in the state of Minnesota, including police officers, firefighters, corrections officers, and others defined as “first responders,” a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder is to be presumed to be work-related. The goal of this bill, authorized by Representative Nick Zerwas (R), and which had almost unanimous support in the legislature, was to eliminate barriers to quick, effective medical care for our State’s first responders suffering from PTSD.

What an incREDible night! The annual Firefighters for Healing Red Tie Gala just keeps getting better and better. The 2018 Red Tie Gala took place in October at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center and raised over $500,000! Ron Meuser is a proud member of the Firefighters for Healing board of directors and speaks for the entire board by saying Thank You! The amazing feedback, support, energy, and enthusiasm is overwhelming.

We’re buzzing with excitement! We are thrilled to announce some exciting things happening over here at Meuser Law Office, P.A. In an effort to keep up with our constantly growing business and to provide some breathing room for our team as well as allow for future team growth, we have moved to a new location. Meuser Law Office is still located in Eden Prairie, in fact we didn’t move far – just across Lake Smetana to our new home at 10400 Viking Drive, Eden Prairie, MN.

On behalf of Meuser Law Office, P.A., we offer our sincere condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Oak Park Heights state prison corrections officer, Joseph Parise. Officer Parise, 37, died September 24^thafter rushing to assist another officer who was being assaulted by an inmate. Parise was one of several officers who responded to a call to break up the assault. Parise, a four-year veteran of the Department of Corrections, suffered a medical emergency and died after helping the colleague.
