Workers' Compensation Attorney in Milwaukee

Everything can feel overwhelming when filing a workers’ compensation claim. Strict deadlines aside, you’ll have to deal with complex laws, insurance companies that only care about protecting their own interests, mounting bills, and more. That’s too much to take, especially while nursing your injuries sustained on the job.

It’s even more challenging when your claim gets denied. Maybe you didn’t fill out the correct paperwork, or you didn’t follow the right process. Or, just maybe, the insurance company is simply acting out of bad faith.

FAQ

What Makes a Workers’ Compensation Claim In Milwaukee Valid?

A valid workers' compensation claim must demonstrate that:

the injury occurred while performing work-related duties;
the injury was reported to the employer within the specified timeframe (30 days from the injury date); and
medical treatment and expenses are well-documented.

Does Workers’ Comp Insurance Cover Every Injury Sustained in the Workplace?

Not really. This insurance won’t cover intentional self-inflicted injuries, injuries resulting from drug or alcohol use, or those occurring during breaks unrelated to work activities.

How Do I Know the Insurance Company Is Acting Out of Bad Faith?

Some of the most common signs of bad faith by the insurance company responsible for compensating you after a workplace injury include:

Unjustified delays in processing your claim
Unreasonable denial of benefits without proper investigation
Failure to communicate or respond to inquiries
Offering a settlement significantly below what is reasonable

What if the Injury Happened While I Was Driving a Company Vehicle?
