Can You Sue Your Employer or Only File Workers' Comp?
In Wisconsin, workers' compensation is usually the primary remedy for injuries that happen on the job. That means many injured workers cannot sue their employer directly for the injury-but they may still be entitled to wage-loss benefits, medical care coverage, and other workers' comp benefits. In some situations, you may also have a separate third-party personal injury claim (for example, if a negligent driver, contractor, or equipment manufacturer played a role). We help you understand which path applies and what to do next.
Why Workers' Comp Claims Get Denied or Delayed
Workers' comp disputes often involve issues like:
The employer claims the injury did not happen at work
The insurer argues the injury is "pre-existing"
Treatment is limited or cut off early
Benefits are terminated before you can safely return to work
Your work restrictions are disputed or ignored
Paperwork problems or missed deadlines create complications
If any of this sounds familiar, getting legal guidance early can help protect your claim and keep benefits from slipping away.
Workers' Compensation Questions Answered
What do workers' comp lawyers charge in Wisconsin?
Fees can depend on the type of case and the work required. We'll explain the fee structure clearly during your free consultation so you know what to expect before moving forward.
Can I sue my employer or just file workers' comp?
Most workplace injuries are handled through workers' compensation rather than a lawsuit against your employer. However, you may have additional legal options if a third party contributed to the injury.
Do I need a lawyer for a workers' comp appeal?
If your claim was denied, your benefits were cut off, or you're being pressured back to work too soon, an attorney can help protect your rights and present your case effectively.
What if my employer says I can return to work but my doctor disagrees?
Conflicts over restrictions and work capacity are common. We help address medical documentation and disputes that affect benefits.
