Overview

A workplace injury can affect far more than a person’s ability to do their job. It can create physical, financial, and emotional challenges that impact every part of daily life. We help injured workers across Wisconsin understand their rights, navigate workers’ compensation claims, and pursue additional compensation when another party’s negligence contributed to what happened.

Whether an injury occurred on a construction site, in a warehouse, on the road, or in another work environment, we provide clear guidance and practical support throughout the process.

Common Questions

About Work Injuries Cases

What types of workplace accidents can lead to a legal claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Workplace injury claims can arise from construction accidents, falls, machinery incidents, vehicle accidents, defective equipment, electrocutions, industrial accidents, and other unsafe working conditions. In some situations, injured workers may have legal options beyond workers' compensation if another party's negligence contributed to the injury.

Can I sue my employer after a workplace injury?

keyboard_arrow_down
In most situations, Wisconsin workers' compensation laws prevent employees from suing their employer directly. However, other claims may be available if a third party contributed to the injury.

What is a third-party workplace injury claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
A third-party claim may arise when someone other than your employer is responsible for your injury, such as a contractor, subcontractor, property owner, manufacturer, or driver.

Can I receive workers' compensation and file a personal injury claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Sometimes. If a third party contributed to your injury, you may have both a workers' compensation claim and a separate personal injury claim.

What if I can't return to work?

keyboard_arrow_down
Depending on your situation, benefits may be available for lost wages, permanent disability, vocational retraining, and other long-term impacts of the injury.
