If you have been injured or made ill by engaging in work-related activities, you’ll want to consult with an on-the-job injury lawyer Green Bay residents trust – and you’ll want to do so as soon as possible. Depending on the circumstances surrounding how you sustained work-related harm, you may be entitled to significant compensation at this time. However, if you wait too long to explore your options, you may be barred from receiving one or more kinds of compensation. For example, you may be in a position to file a successful personal injury claim and/or receive a significant insurance settlement. Both of these options for recourse are time-sensitive. However, if you are eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits as a result of your injuries, you have even less time to act before you’ll be barred from any benefits to which you’re entitled.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits – Eligibility
If you are a full-time or part-time worker at a company that employs more than a few workers, chances are good that you’re eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits if you’ve been injured or made sick while on the job. By contrast, if you’re an independent contractor, the company you work for is very small, or you are employed by a specialty industry (maritime, railroad, etc.) you likely won’t be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. If you’re unsure of your eligibility status, that’s okay. A workers’ compensation lawyer Green Bay, WI can clarify your eligibility for you in a no-risk consultation setting.
If you are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, you’ll be able to receive these benefits regardless of what caused your harm, provided that you were engaged in work-related activity when you became injured or ill. This is because the workers’ compensation system functions on a no-fault basis. You will likely only be barred from receiving benefits if you were purposefully trying to get hurt, you were hurt as a consequence of a fight you started, or you were drunk, high, or otherwise intoxicated at the time you became injured on the job.

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.
