What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Thousands of hardworking Wisconsin employees sustain or develop injuries at work every year. Thankfully, Workers’ Compensation benefits can provide injured employees with wage-loss and medical benefits when they need them most. According to the state’s Department of Workforce Development (DWD), 97 percent of Wisconsin’s workforce was covered under a Workers’ Compensation policy in 2018.  

Unlike a personal injury claim, Workers’ Compensation is a no-fault system, which means that an injured employee is not required to prove their employer’s negligence in order to receive benefits. Instead, the employee only needs to establish that their condition was either caused or exacerbated by their work activities. Through Workers’ Compensation, an employee who has been hurt on the job may be entitled to receive medical, wage reimbursement, or vocational rehabilitation benefits.

There are many ways that employment activities may result in an accident or injury. The skilled attorneys at Nicolet Law Office represent people who have suffered a wide range of work-related injuries, including: 

• Traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, and concussions
• Spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and paraplegia
• Knee, ankle, hip, and other joint injuries
• Burns and electrical injuries
• Severe scarring
• Hearing and vision loss 
• Repetitive use trauma
• Compression fractures and broken bones
• Loss of limbs or amputation

We understand that filing a Workers’ Compensation claim can be overwhelming for injured employees. At Nicolet Law Office, our attorneys are dedicated to making the process as straightforward for our clients as we can.

Wisconsin’s Workers’ Compensation Claims Process

Although no two cases are the same, Workers’ Compensation claims tend to include the following steps: 

• Seeking medical attention. The top priority after sustaining a workplace injury is obtaining medical treatment. Wisconsin employers are required to offer injured employees the opportunity to choose their own doctor. 
• Informing an employer. Employees who have been injured on the job are advised to report their condition to their employer as soon as possible. It is best to do this in writing.
• Filling out a claim form. When an employer learns about an employee’s injury, they generally provide that employee with the official Workers’ Compensation claim form. The employee will use this form to report the type of injury, how the injury was sustained, and any medical treatment necessitated by the injury.
• Filing the claim. In Wisconsin, employers are required to report work injuries to their insurance carriers within 7 days of learning about them. The insurer will then evaluate the claim and determine how much the employee is entitled to receive. 
• Maintaining records. Employees are advised to keep accurate records of their condition and its effects, even after the Workers’ Compensation filing process has ended.
