Personal Injury

A deputy sheriff was struck by another vehicle while performing law enforcement duties and suffered career ending injuries to the officer’s neck, back, head, and knee.

Healthcare Continuation

Summary judgment in favor of three first responders for continued health insurance coverage until the age of 65, after their employer denied coverage based on their insurance status at the time of disablement.

PERA Duty Disability

Successfully established a firefighter's eligibility for PERA Police and Fire Plan Duty Disability Benefits, proving her breast cancer was the direct result of performing inherently dangerous duties.

Workers' Compensation

Secured a significant Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals win in Juntunen v. Carlton County, et al., establishing that employers and insurers must communicate 'substantial factors' to deny an injured employee’s PTSD claim, otherwise the employee is entitled to benefits under the PTSD presumption.

Workers' Compensation

Successfully argued before the Minnesota Supreme Court in Angela Hawley v. City of Blaine and League of Minnesota Cities, resulting in the dismissal of the employer/insurer’s appeal as moot. This upheld the Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals decision that a Workers’ Compensation Judge does not have subject matter jurisdiction to decide a discovery motion before proceedings have commenced.
