Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Every year, thousands of employees are injured on the job. Workers’ compensation law provides for payment for any injury or illness that is related to your employment. Workers’ compensation, often known as workers’ comp, provides payment for medical expenses, supplements or replaces wages for time missed from work.
In certain cases, an injured employee can obtain job retraining together with payments for the loss of future earning capacity. If you are an employee, you are covered under the Act regardless of how long you have been working; you are covered on your first day of work.
