Wisconsin Workers' Compensation

Get the Legal Help You Need if You've Been Denied Workers' Comp

If you have been injured on the job, you have two potential sources of financial recovery. The first source is Workers' Compensation. This is a government benefit available for any worker injured on the job in Wisconsin.

But you may also be able to bring a personal injury claim to get additional financial compensation if your injuries were the result of:

• Defective products or faulty equipment you used at work
• The negligence of a third party at your workplace
• A car accident caused by someone else when you were driving for work purposes

At the Kmiec Law Offices in Milwaukee, our injury attorneys can advise you on filing a workers' compensation claim as well as investigate the potential of a personal injury suit against a third party.

Work injury claims can be complex, Contact us to get the compensation you deserve.

Workers' Compensation Claim Denials

If your workers' comp claim is denied, we will work with you to establish the facts of your injury claim so that you can appeal the claim denial. The most common reasons workers comp claims are denied are:

• The insurer could not "find" a work-related injury,
• The insurer decided the injury was from a preexisting condition, or
• The employee lacked the ability to bring a claim (for example, a contractor cannot bring a claim for workers' comp, but may be able to bring a premises liability injury claim).

Factory workers, truck drivers and construction workers are prone to back injury and repetitive stress injuries from heavy lifting or extended periods of sitting or standing. Injury claims that result from chronic conditions like these are much more likely to be denied and are harder to prove.

But our Milwaukee workers' comp lawyers are skilled at investigating just such complex injury cases. Workers comp denials can be overcome with the proper evidence.

Are You Receiving All the Benefits You are Due?

Our Workers' Comp attorneys can also help you in cases where benefits have been paid for the initial injury but are stopped prematurely, before you are ready to return to work.
