Matthiesen Wickert & Lehrer guides injured workers through the full scope of Wisconsin workers compensation proceedings, starting with properly documenting and reporting the injury through the resolution of the claim. The firm handles disputes over the extent of injuries, challenges to medical treatment decisions by insurers, disagreements about temporary and permanent disability ratings, and vocational rehabilitation issues. Attorneys work to ensure that clients receive the full range of benefits they are entitled to under Wisconsin law, including wage replacement, medical expense coverage, and permanent partial disability awards where applicable.

When an injured worker contacts Matthiesen Wickert & Lehrer at the Hartford office, the firm begins by reviewing the circumstances of the workplace injury and the current status of any insurance claim. Attorneys assess whether benefits are being properly paid, whether any deadlines have been missed, and whether the insurer is fulfilling its obligations under Wisconsin's workers compensation law.
