How to Move on When Your Career in Law Enforcement or Firefighting Comes to an End

February 19, 2019 by Ron Meuser No Comments

The attorneys at Meuser Law Office, P.A. have represented hundreds of police officers and firefighters in Minnesota workers’ compensation and PERA/MSRS disability claims over the years. Unfortunately, there are times when the injury is career-ending and the individual is left wondering what to do next. Oftentimes the police officer or firefighter is too young to retire or do not know what to do once their career in law enforcement and/or firefighting is over.

Evidence of PERA Duty Disability Payments Are Inadmissible at Trial

February 7, 2019 by Mary Beth Boyce No Comments

In cases where Minnesota police officers or firefighters are injured in the line of duty through the fault of a third-party, typically a suspect or the driver of another vehicle, then he or she has a separate cause of action against the negligent person, outside of PERA/MSRS benefits and workers’ compensation benefits. In those cases, sometimes defendants try to argue to the jury that the officer or firefighter did not truly sustain any economic damage because he or she has been adequately compensated for his or her loss by PERA or MSRS Duty Disability benefits.
