Madison Workplace Injury Attorneys
Workers' compensation exists to provide a dependable source of benefits for employees who have been injured on the job, regardless of who was at fault for those injuries. Unfortunately, some employers try to deny their employees the benefits they are entitled to.
Our Wisconsin workers' compensation lawyers at the Madison-based law firm of Stafford & Neal represent injured workers throughout the state. We have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the workers' comp system, addressing issues such as the following:
- Types of workplace injuries: You can qualify for workers' comp benefits on the basis of a workplace accident injury or an occupational disease such as repetitive strain.
- Temporary disability benefits: While you are in the process of recovering from a workplace injury, you may be entitled to temporary total or partial disability benefits.
- Permanent partial disability benefits: If your doctor says that your injuries have permanently impacted a bodily function, you may be eligible for these benefits.
- Retraining and loss of earning capacity benefits: If your employer is permanently unable to provide you with work that you are able to do, you may be eligible for these benefits.
- Why your benefits have been denied: Insurance companies are in the business of denying claims whenever possible. Many claims are denied for a few key reasons.
- Recent developments in Wisconsin law: Our attorneys pay close attention to — and often advise policymakers on — the latest developments in Wisconsin workers' comp law.
- Wisconsin workers' compensation FAQ: There are a few key questions that we get asked often. We are prepared to answer these and any other questions you may have.
