If you’ve been hurt on the job in Wisconsin, you should be able to file a claim for benefits through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance plan. Workers’ Compensation is intended to help injured workers access quality medical care and pay their bills (through a stipend) while they’re out of work recovering.
Workers’ Comp laws can be confusing, especially when you’re in pain and recovering and not quite at 100%. Turn to a skilled Green Bay, WI, work injury lawyer to help you understand your rights to access workers’ comp benefits and other legal options open to you after an on-the-job injury. At Hickey & Turim, S.C., we handle even the most complicated workers’ injury claims and can help ensure you receive all the compensation and other benefits you’re eligible for. Contact us today for a free consultation.
How Can A Green Bay Work Injury Lawyer Help Me?
Although you aren’t required to have a work injury attorney represent you to file a claim (you should automatically receive this benefit if your employer has workers’ compensation insurance), a lawyer can help you:
- Learn what kind of benefits are available for someone with your type of disability
- Guide you through the filing process after an injury so no errors or omissions delay the receipt of benefits
- Appeal a denied claim
Your attorney can also help you if your employer does not have workers’ compensation coverage – but should have. In these cases (and a few others), you may be able to file a lawsuit against your employer to secure the compensation you deserve for your medical care and other losses.
We ensure that all deadlines for the initial filing and any other additional deadlines, like those for filing an appeal, are met. We also explain what you need to do to keep your benefits and can negotiate fair return-to-work terms with your employer (such as making accommodations for your disability or finding light-duty work for you).
Filing A Third-Party Claim With Wisconsin Workers’ Comp
In some cases, you may be able to file a lawsuit for damages against a third party who contributed to your workplace accident. This could be another driver, a vendor or subcontractor, or another party (not your employee) whose negligence caused the accident. We can help file this third-party lawsuit for you and protect your workers’ comp benefits during the process.

In my opinion, 5 stars isn’t enough for this firm!!
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!!

Josh made my workers' compensation claim move along with apparent ease and kept the atmosphere casual, yet composed.
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 can’t speak highly enough for the work Joshua Turim and his Law firm did for me.
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.
