Employment Law & Workers’ Compensation
Employment Law & Workers’ Compensation in Wisconsin
Workers compensation is insurance that an employer is legally required to carry in case an employee is injured on the job, becomes ill due to circumstances surrounding their job, becomes temporarily or permanently disabled, or even if death results from their job.
Never assume that the employer or the insurance company cares if you receive fair compensation for your injury. The employer and the insurance company have many attorneys who know the workers’ compensation system and who will work against you. We handle a variety of workers’ compensation and employment law cases, including:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Scars
- Illness due to circumstances surrounding their job
- Discrimination claims
