Medical bills get paid. Wages get partially replaced during recovery. But for Milwaukee workers whose ladder fall injuries permanently change what they can do professionally, the financial picture extends far beyond what the basic workers’ compensation benefits cover. Lost earning capacity is the long-term economic cost of what the injury took from a worker’s professional […]

The word “lawsuit” carries weight. It sounds confrontational, expensive, and time-consuming.

Our friends at Hickey & Turim, S.C. discuss how these misconceptions keep victims from getting compensation they deserve. A workers’ compensation lawyer […]

Most people who fall from a ladder at work assume the accident resulted from human error or their employer’s failure to maintain a safe workplace. Sometimes it’s neither. When the ladder itself was defective, the company that designed it, manufactured it, distributed it, or rented it may bear legal responsibility for the injuries that resulted. […]

Federal workplace safety regulations exist because ladder falls kill and seriously injure workers every year. When employers follow the rules, workers are safer. When they don’t, workers get hurt in ways that could have been prevented. In ladder injury claims, OSHA violations are among the most powerful evidence available, because they demonstrate that the employer […]

Insurance companies aren’t on your side. That sounds harsh, but it’s the fundamental truth every injury victim needs to understand. While adjusters may sound sympathetic on the phone, their job is to pay you as little as possible or deny your claim entirely. Our friends at Hickey & Turim, S.C. see these tactics play out […]

The insurance company makes you an offer. It seems low, but maybe it’s fair. You’re not sure how to respond. Do you counter? Accept? Ask for more time to think? Every decision during settlement negotiations affects how much you ultimately recover. Our friends at Hickey & Turim, S.C. see victims make the same negotiation mistakes […]

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.

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 […]

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.
