We are very happy to announce that we have a new team member and author on board, David Kempston, an attorney with The Law Office of Thomas Mottaz.
David has been a strong advocate for the injured worker. Since 2000 he has been designated “Super Lawyer” by the Minnesota Journal of Law and Politics. He also is listed in The Best Lawyers in America as seen in Minnesota Monthly.
Speaking and writing on workers’ compensation related topics has come easy for David as he frequently lectures and writes on the Minnesota workers’ compensation law. For more information concerning David, feel free to check out his firms website.
We look forward to the insight David will bring to our readers.
Police officers in the line of work face an overabundant amount of stress. It has been shown that police officers are at an increased risk for cardiovascular events and even emotional difficulties such as depression.
More than 400 police officers have participated in a study with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. The Science Daily Reports more than 400 police officers have participated in the study to date, with the researchers aiming for 500. Results from the study shows, among other findings, that officers over age 40 had a higher 10-year risk of a coronary event compared to average national standards; 72 percent of female officers and 43 percent of male officers, had higher-than-recommended cholesterol levels; and police officers as a group had higher-than-average pulse rates and diastolic blood pressure.
