What Can Studinski Law Do for You?

Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Laws

Most employees are covered by their employers’ workers’ compensation insurance coverage. A workers’ compensation action requires that no fault be proven in your injury; we simply have to show that you were hurt in the normal course of your job. However, we strongly advise that you have an experienced attorney help you navigate your your claim. The workers’ compensation attorneys at Studinski Law, LLC have negotiated with many insurance companies as we have sought fair compensation for our clients over the years.

Taking advantages of workers’ compensation benefits can help you recover, but it is not the ideal option in all cases. These claims allow for your employer to be protected from a lawsuit regarding your injuries. Several things to consider before filing a workers’ compensation action would include:

• Keeping Your Job After Filing for Workers’ Compensation
  You are not guaranteed a job after your injury since your employer is not required to hold open your position indefinitely. However, you do have certain rights which include the right to not be fired out of retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you were fired in retaliation, we can seek damages which can include back pay.
• Suing Your Employer Instead of Seeking Workers’ Compensation
  We can help you sue your employer if they failed to have workers’ compensation insurance. Additionally, we can sue them if the injury that you sustained was not an accident but was instead the result of an intentional wrongful act by your employer.
• Third-Party Lawsuits
  You may have been injured by the negligent actions of a third party when you were at work, and we can sue the other person or company in addition to filing a workers’ compensation suit. An example of this would include filing a product liability lawsuit against a company that made a defective product that injured you at work.
• Workplace Safety Resources
  Your employer should provide you with proper training and protective equipment in order to perform your job. If you or someone else cause an accident that results in injure because you did not have proper safety resources, you may have a claim against your employer.

Work Injury Compensation – A Wisconsin Workplace Injury Lawyer May Help

The damages to which you are entitled under Wisconsin workers’ compensation can help you and your family recover lost wages and pay for medical bills. Workers’ compensation benefits are calculated under a system where the insurance company considers your physical injuries. The insurance company may offer benefits or a work injury settlement to push your claim through the system. However, if they do not, we can help you get compensation for disability, lost wages, medical expenses, and more.

If a third-party suit is pursued along with seeking workers’ compensation, we can seek non-economic damages like pain and suffering, but fault must be proven. Your work injury attorney in a regular negligence claim or a third-party suit will have to show that the other party was negligent, and that this negligence was the cause of your injury. In these cases we can help you recover damages for the following in addition to medical expenses and lost wages, which are covered by workers’ compensation:

• Pain and Suffering
• Emotional Distress and Mental Anguish
• Disfigurement
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life
• Loss of Earning Capacity
• Loss of Society and Companionship
• Property Damages
• Punitive Damages
