Services
Workers Compensation
We represent Minnesota workers with job-related injuries, including PTSD, heart conditions, and infectious diseases. Our attorneys coordinate medical care, wage loss benefits, and vocational rehabilitation for clients across law enforcement, firefighting, and healthcare professions. We handle denied claims and disputes over benefits while ensuring compliance with state-specific regulations for public safety employees.
PERA Disability Benefits
Our firm specializes in securing duty disability benefits for Minnesota police officers, firefighters, and correctional officers through PERA and MSRS systems. We prepare applications for occupational and permanent total disability claims while defending healthcare continuation benefits. Our team handles appeals for denied claims and ensures proper coordination with workers' compensation benefits.
Personal Injury Claims
We pursue compensation for injuries caused by third-party negligence, including motor vehicle accidents and premises liability cases. Our attorneys coordinate personal injury claims with workers' compensation benefits to maximize recoveries while navigating Minnesota's no-fault insurance system and tort thresholds for pain and suffering damages.
Healthcare Continuation
We protect healthcare benefits for duty-disabled police officers and firefighters under Minnesota Statute 299A.465. Our attorneys challenge employer denials of continued health insurance coverage while ensuring proper enrollment in pre-injury health plans. We handle contested case hearings before the Office of Administrative Hearings.
Department of Public Safety Death Benefits
We represent families of first responders who died from duty-related injuries, including heart conditions, cancer, and PTSD-related suicide. Our attorneys file claims for lump-sum payments, workers' compensation death benefits, and educational assistance while appealing denied applications for public safety officers' survivors.
