When Do You Have a Claim for Worker’s Compensation?

If you have a job-related physical or psychological injury or illness, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. Nearly all Wisconsin employees are covered. Exceptions include:

  • Domestic servants
  • Some farm employees
  • Sole proprietors
  • And others

It doesn’t matter if you are a part-time or full-time employee. Unless your employer is exempt, it must carry workers’ compensation insurance.

What Are You Going to Do if You Are Injured on the Job?

Your employer has specific responsibilities when it comes to insurance for work-related injuries or illnesses. What you need to do includes:

  • Immediately tell your supervisor that you are hurt
  • Get necessary medical attention
  • Keep all medical records and bills
  • And more

Once established, your claim will generally remain open for the latter of six years from the date of injury or the last payment you received.

If your claim is denied, you should receive a written denial letter. What will be your next step? It’s simple. You are contacting the Madison Workers Compensation Lawyer at the number below.
