Meuser Law Office, P.A. prevented the employer from discontinuing wage loss benefits for a University of Minnesota Police Officer who sustained a severe upper extremity injury as the result of a fall while the officer was engaged in a foot pursuit of a suspect. The employer attempted to argue that they were allowed to discontinue the police officer’s workers’ compensation wage loss benefits after he separated his employment following his approval for PERA Police and Fire Plan Duty Disability benefits. Following a discontinuance conference, the Court ordered the employer and insurer to continue paying wage loss benefits, determining that there was no reasonable basis to discontinue the wage loss benefits.
