Workers' Compensation Attorney in Milwaukee

 A valid workers' compensation claim must demonstrate that: 

• the injury occurred while performing work-related duties;
• the injury was reported to the employer within the specified timeframe (30 days from the injury date); and
• medical treatment and expenses are well-documented.

Not really. This insurance won’t cover intentional self-inflicted injuries, injuries resulting from drug or alcohol use, or those occurring during breaks unrelated to work activities.

Some of the most common signs of bad faith by the insurance company responsible for compensating you after a workplace injury include: 

• Unjustified delays in processing your claim
• Unreasonable denial of benefits without proper investigation
• Failure to communicate or respond to inquiries
• Offering a settlement significantly below what is reasonable

Tell us about your case if you believe that the insurance company is acting out of bad faith. We might be able to hold them accountable.

The evidence required to substantiate your claim might vary depending on the specifics of your case. However, from our experience handling these cases, you will likely need the following evidence: 

• Medical records and reports
• Witness statements 
• Accident reports filed with your employer
• Photographs of the injury or accident scene
• Any relevant communication with your employer or the insurance company

If you were driving the company vehicle for work-related purposes, you’ll likely be eligible for workers' compensation. However, if you were driving it for any other reason that’s not related to your employment, the insurance company will likely deny your claim.
