Workers Compensation

Securing Benefits for Injured Wisconsin Workers with Denied Workers Compensation Claims

If your Wisconsin workers compensation claim has been denied, our experienced workers compensation attorneys in Madison, Milwaukee, Eau Claire and Appleton can help you fight to get the benefits you deserve. Wisconsin workers compensation law requires every employer to carry workers compensation insurance for their employees. When an employee suffers an injury on the job, this insurance should help them recover from their injury by paying for medical treatment and compensating for time off work. Sometimes, however, insurance companies deny workers compensation claims and workers must resort to the courts to get their benefits.

A Proven Track Record with Wisconsin Worker's Comp Cases

It is important to hire an attorney who knows Wisconsin workers compensation law. Many Milwaukee and Madison workers compensation attorneys advertise themselves as “Wisconsin workers compensation experts,” but few have earned the statewide reputation enjoyed by the attorneys at Hawks Quindel. Our attorneys regularly speak at Wisconsin workers compensation seminars and all are members of the Wisconsin Association of Workers Compensation Attorneys (WAWCA).

Judges, former clients, and even the attorneys who represent the workers compensation insurance companies refer injured workers to our firm. Why? Quite simply, we achieve outstanding results for employees across Wisconsin. Even considering our experience and reputation, we charge the same fee you will pay attorneys with far less experience – only 20% of what we recover for you, whether your case is big or small.

"Attorneys and staff returned calls promptly and got answers for me when I had a lot of questions. They made me feel relaxed and comfortable in a really difficult situation and made me realize that I was doing the right thing for myself. I was able to stand up for my own rights knowing they were there to help." - Theresa
