The easy answer to the question is no. Uh, if the injured individual is truly deemed an independent contractor, then they would not qualify for workers’ compensation benefits under the Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Act. However, what I would say, and this is often the case, is that most workers that are told or deemed […]

The main difference between a workers’s compensation and personal injury lawsuit in Wisconsin is that, in workers’s compensation, it is a no fault statute. Meaning that it does not matter whether it was your fault, or the fault of someone else, or the fault of the employer, as to whether or not you have […]

In most instances where an injured worker has a worker’s compensation claim, I would recommend that they, at the very least, consult with a lawyer. There are smaller cases, um, or cases that don’t involve a lot of treatment where — and by that I mean medical treatment — where they can possibly be […]

There’s no specific time period where workers’ compensation benefits necessarily expire, meaning that an injured worker can be off work for as long as the doctor keeps them off work, and benefits can continue. However, in most cases, I would say that benefits—or more specifically, lost wages benefits—continue for about six months to even […]

Oftentimes, an employer is rushing an employee to return to work after a work injury. And the main reason for that is because the employer wants that employee back, wants them completing the work and doing what they were hired to do. However, in the event that the employer is rushing you or the […]

The best way to deal with an insurance company adjuster or a worker’s compensation insurance adjuster is to be kind and considerate and patient.

An employer in the state of Wisconsin can technically terminate an individual for virtually any reason. I would say that because, in Wisconsin, we have an at-will policy, meaning employees are at will. That being said, if it is a termination directly as a result of the workers’ compensation matter or claim, there can […]

I was very apprehensive about contacting a lawyer for my workmen’s comp. claim. I’ve never had any good experience in the lawyer department. But thanks to Joshua Turim, I have new found gratitude! To say he went above and beyond for me is an understatement. Anytime I contacted him, he answered me lightning fast. Even though my claim wasn’t a huge amount, he still went out of his way to get me what I deserved. If anyone you know needs a great lawyer, Josh and his firm is the place to call!!

He settled my case after many months of preparation and ultimate negotiation, keeping me informed along the way. He knew what I expected for an outcome, and explained every detail in laymen’s terms. Josh took all the time necessary to explain the process. I never felt like I didn’t understand. I recommend Josh to anyone looking to resolve a workers’ compensation claim without additional strain.

I found him from the Yellow Pages and after consulting with several other of his peers I hired Josh. The fit was right. He’s been my counsel for nearly 5 years now. My case was not an easy one. Workers’ Comp moves slow and methodical. Believe me, I’m thankful I had a professional who is very experienced and knowledgeable about the system on my side. We’ve reached a very good settlement and I know I can continue to count on Joshua Turim should any need arise.
Thanks Josh.
