In March, we reported on the brave work of our client Heather Meyer, who testified at the capital in support of a bill to end a loophole that allows insurance companies to “wait out” victims suffering from unrelated terminal illnesses by refusing to negotiate, forcing litigation, and engaging in stall tactics.
Read our first article and watch the video of Heather Meyers testimony here.
On May 23, it was finally signed into law.
We are proud of Heather Meyer and the other injury survivors, their families, and lobbying groups, who have fought for this over the last several years. Groups such as Minnesota Association for Justice and Elder Voice Advocates helped to get this over the goal line.
Minnesota has finally joined the rest of the country in having a survivorship law. This way, companies will no longer gain from the death of victims.
