A common issue we see in workers’ compensation cases involve work restrictions and light duty. Often, when a worker is injured that individual receives work restrictions from their doctor that does not allow them to perform all aspects of their job. Many times an employer will attempt to accommodate these work restrictions by offering a light duty role.

Every day we are reminded of the risks that law enforcement officers face. Media reports focus on officer shootings leading to the misperception that gunfire is the greatest risk to which an officer is exposed. No one can deny the inherent risk of an officer being shot but the startling fact is that more officers die from suicide than any other cause. I have lost two clients this year due to suicide. Two other officers died from suicide in November.

In Minnesota, there is a six-year statute of limitations for personal injuries arising out of a motor vehicle accident. Accordingly, you have six years from the date of the accident to serve a Summons and Complaint upon the party or parties responsible for your injuries. Failure to adhere to this date will preclude you from recovery.
