Workers Compensation

Milwaukee Workers Compensation Attorneys

Almost 100 years ago Wisconsin created one of the first set of laws protecting workers who get injured on the job.  At that time, many safety standards did not exist, and workers often suffered serious injuries without any ability to receive compensation for the harm they suffered.  Wisconsin’s progressive policies at the time created a system which assured that workers would receive compensation for their work-related injuries.  However, the employer’s exposure was limited to paying certain benefits.  The laws have evolved over time and now, if you are injured at work you are entitled to certain benefits:

1.        (TTD) Temporary Total Disability — Lost wages at up to 2/3’s your average weekly salary tax free.

2.       Payment of all reasonable and necessary medical bills.

3.       Payment for medications.

4.       (PPD) Permanent Partial Disability —Payment for permanent partial disabilities according to a statutory schedule.

5.       Payment for loss of earning capacity – the ability to earn at a certain level – in certain cases.

6.       Retraining benefits in certain cases to bring your ability to earn back to a certain level.

7.       Death benefits to survivors in the event of a work-related death.

8. (PTD) Permanent Total Disability
