Meijer Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Milwaukee, WI

Our Experienced Attorneys Stand Up For Injured Workers’ Rights

Even with the best safety measures in place, there’s still a chance that you may get injured on the job or develop an occupational illness. In Wisconsin, injured workers are covered by employer-paid workers’ compensation insurance, a free-to-employees benefit that provides a partial wage replacement stipend while the injured worker is out of work recovering and full coverage of all necessary medical and rehabilitative care to treat the injury or disease. Employers are required by law to carry this insurance and to ensure that their employees are treated fairly in the process, but as an experienced Milwaukee, WI Meijer workers’ compensation lawyer, we know that this isn’t always the case.

If you have been hurt while working for Meijer in any capacity and encountered difficulties securing your full workers’ comp benefits or experienced retaliation from your employer, call Hickey & Turim, S.C. We know state laws covering employer obligations well and aren’t afraid to go up against a powerful corporation and its lawyers to help you get your fair due. We offer a free consultation, which you can book today.

How Our Milwaukee Meijer Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Helps You

Wisconsin workers’ compensation insurance is intended to be a safety net for people who get hurt on the job or who contract an occupational disease, like carpal tunnel syndrome or cancer due to toxic exposure. It ensures that you’re able to get high-quality medical care, physical therapy, or surgery if you need it and helps you pay your bills so you’re not rushed back to work before you fully heal.

Usually, filing the claim is straightforward: You report the injury to your manager, go to the doctor (usually an employer-approved physician or an urgent care center), then follow your treating physician’s instructions for aftercare. Unfortunately, not every claim is straightforward and problem-free. Some people may realize after they file their claim that Meijer’s insurance company has denied the claim, or that their store manager failed to complete the paperwork necessary to secure their benefits.

What do you do now? Where can you turn if you can’t work, cannot pay your medical bills, or your employer terminates your employment (retaliation) after a workplace injury? Turn to us. Our attorneys have decades of combined experience litigating workers’ comp claims and are prepared to put our extensive resources to work on your behalf.
