Northeastern Wisconsin Workers' Compensation Attorneys
People in Wisconsin are known for their hard work. Getting hurt on the job and not being able to work is difficult for many people to handle. Sometimes a job injury will require only missing a short time from work, but some injuries can have long-term effects and require missing months or years of work. At the law firm of McCanna, Dudas & Kewley, S.C. we have been assisting injured workers in Appleton, Stevens Point, Green Bay, and throughout northeastern Wisconsin with their workers' compensation claims for almost 20 years. Contact our office to arrange for your free initial consultation.
Wisconsin Workers' Compensation Lawyers
The Workers' Compensation program is in place to protect people unable to work because of workplace injuries. Insurance companies will often deny legitimate claims, delay payment, or offer to pay only a small portion of the claim. Many people file worker compensation claims on their own and become so frustrated during the process that they end up giving up on the claim. Having an attorney can assist in the process and give injured workers an improved chance of receiving the money they are due for their injury. At our firm we help workers who have been injured on the job to negotiate workers' compensation settlement agreements and appeal denied claims.
These are some of the areas we help injured workers with:
- Recover medical bills, lost wages, and future lost earnings
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Work-related injury claims
- Department of Work Force Development hearings
- Dealing and negotiating with insurance companies
- Obtaining medical records and bills
- Administrative law hearings
Worker compensation carriers may reject claims even if the injured person was injured while within the scope of employment (on the job), if they suspect the injury was the result of a pre-existing condition, or that the employee fraudulently submitted an injury that did not exist. Our attorneys advise clients on how to deal with these matters and what options are available to them.
