Claim Denied?

Has Your Workers' Compensation Claim Been Denied?

Let Our Experienced Attorneys Handle Your Appeal

Far too often, legitimate claims for Wisconsin workers' compensation benefits are turned down by employers or their insurance companies. You don't have to accept a denial of benefits. With an experienced, skilled workers' comp lawyer, you have the opportunity to appeal the decision and receive full, fair compensation for medical care and lost wages.

If you have suffered a work-related injury or illness in the Eau Claire area, contact Siedow & Jackson at 715-318-2105. We offer free initial consultations.

Both of our attorneys are former Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judges — they know how to plan, present, and appeal workers' compensation claims.

Don't Let This Happen to You

• Your employer's insurance company alleges that your injury did not occur at your workplace
• The insurance company alleges that your injury is the result of a pre-existing illness or injury
• The insurance company insists that you see "an independent medical examiner" — an examiner that is employed by the insurer

We understand that doctors employed by the insurance company are typically paid to give the company a reason to deny benefits and save the company money. If these doctors did not do so, fewer patients would be referred to them. In addition, the exams usually last around 15 minutes. How can any doctor properly assess the extent of your injury in 15 minutes? We will help make sure that your primary care physician or other health care professional examines you and sufficiently documents all work-related injuries so that you get a fair hearing.

How the Process Works

In a typical workers' compensation case, here is what you can expect:

• After you have received medical care and notified your employer of your work-related injury or illness, you meet with one of our attorneys
• We obtain medical records to substantiate your workers' compensation claim
• We file an application for a hearing with the Department of Workforce Development
• We bolster your case by gathering medical evidence, including specific reports from doctors; we also determine the percentage of disability sustained to address when and whether you will be able to return to your job
• We advocate for you in the Administrative Law Court, presenting evidence, calling witnesses, and conducting direct and cross-examination
• If we are successful, you are then issued payment; our fee is deducted from that amount
• If necessary, we appeal your claim; we also respond to appeals made by the insurance company
