Every year, thousands of employees suffer work-related injuries. Many injured employees suffer not only the pain and complications of the injury, but are also unable to work and unable to support themselves and their families. Unfortunately, many employers and workers compensation insurance providers are not open and honest with employee about the wide range of workers’ compensation benefits available in Wisconsin. Injured workers are often surprised to learn that their employer’s insurance company is not paying benefits that they are required to by workers compensation laws.

Benefits that an employee who suffers a work-related injury may be entitled to include:

- Wage Loss
- Medical Expenses
- Compensation for permanent disability
- Vocational Rehabilitation and Retraining
- Death benefits

If employers act in bad-faith following the filing of a worker’s compensation claim, they may also be penalized and required to pay an employee additional monetary benefits for claims including:

- Unreasonable Refusal to Rehire
- Safety Violations
- Delay of payment on a claim
