The risks present on a construction site are real and well-documented. Heavy machinery, working at height, electrical hazards, falling objects, and unstable surfaces create conditions where serious injuries happen, even on sites that follow safety protocols closely. When those protocols are not followed, or when negligence plays a role, the consequences for workers and bystanders […]

Workers’ compensation provides important protection after a workplace ladder fall. But it doesn’t cover everything. Pain and suffering isn’t compensable under workers’ comp. Full lost wages aren’t replaced, only two-thirds. And the insurer who pays workers’ compensation benefits has a stake in minimizing what they pay, which doesn’t always align with what a seriously injured […]

Most people who’ve been injured in an accident think about their medical bills first. That makes sense.

Wisconsin’s workers’ compensation system is designed to cover employees who suffer injuries or illnesses arising out of and in the course of their employment. That language comes directly from the Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Act, and it matters more than most people realize. Two conditions must generally be met: the injury must arise out of your […]

Most people assume that when a worker is hurt on a construction site, the employer is automatically to blame. That is often not the full picture.

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.
