Helping Injured Workers Get the Financial Help They Need

Workers' Compensation Claims, Disputes and Appeals

If you've suffered a serious job-related injury, it's likely that you are entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits from your employer. These are benefits you are owed under Wisconsin workers' compensation laws, but getting your workers' compensation benefits is not always as easy as it should be. Companies and insurance carriers will always want to minimize the money they must give workers.

If you are having difficulty with a workers' compensation claim, contact Wisconsin's oldest workers' compensation law firm, Previant, Goldberg, Uelmen, Gratz, Miller & Brueggeman, S.C.

Working Hard for Injured Workers

Wisconsin passed its workers' compensation law in 1911. Our firm was founded in 1912, and we've been working hard for injured workers ever since. Our team of workers' compensation attorneys, led by partner Thomas Flanagan, are among the most experienced lawyers in the state in obtaining workers' compensation benefits for injured workers.

Our legal team handles hundreds of workers' compensation cases a year. We have handled every kind of case and complication, and we can give you sound legal advice, help with negotiations, and provide representation in hearings and appeals when there is a dispute, such as:

• Whether proper procedures were followed
• When the injury occurred and whether the injury actually occurred on the job. (Simply being at the place of employment is not always sufficient, and an injury that takes place away from the workplace may still be work-related and covered by workers' compensation.)
• Whether employment conditions contributed to an occupational disease or mental health condition
• The extent of the injury and disability, and whether a pre-existing condition or older injury contributed to that disability
• Whether an employer violated workers' compensation laws by failing to report an injury and file a claim or some other illegal practice

There is no type of workers' compensation case we have not handled successfully in the past. We invite you to contact our Milwaukee office or satellite locations if you have questions or are involved in a dispute regarding your workers' compensation claim.
