The Wisconsin Department of Health Services recently launched a new workers’ compensation dashboard that provides information about workplace injuries and workers’ compensation claims in the state. The data published through the dashboard provide some interesting insights into trends, common injuries, and the compensation awarded to injured workers and their families. Here are some highlights based on the most-recent data available:

More than 20,000 Employees File Workers’ Compensation Claims in Wisconsin Each Year

According to the latest data in the dashboard, more than 20,000 employees file workers’ compensation claims in Wisconsin each year. While the total number of claims filed has dropped in the past couple of years, this is still a lot of claims.

On average, 76.7% of all workers’ compensation claims filed over the past five years were paid (with the most recent data coming from 2023). Of course, this means that 23.3% of workers’ compensation claims—or nearly one in four—are unsuccessful.

Strains Are the Most Common Injuries Leading to Workers’ Compensation Claims in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ workers compensation dashboard shows that strains, sprains, and tears are the most common injuries leading to workers’ compensation claims by a fairly significant margin. Of the 126,738 claims filed from 2019 to 2023, 49,087 involved these types of injuries. According to the dashboard, the most common causes of workers’ compensation claims in Wisconsin are:

• Strains, sprains, and tears
• Slips, trips and falls
• Miscellaneous causes
• Being struck or injured by an object
• Cuts, punctures, and scrapes
• Getting caught in or under an object
• Striking against or stepping on an object
• Burning and scalding
• Motor vehicle accidents

The dashboard also identifies the most common body parts involved in workers’ compensation claims in Wisconsin. From most common to least, the body parts most commonly injured in work-related accidents are:

• Shoulders
• Lower back
• Knees
• Fingers
• Ankles
• Wrists
• Hands
• Feet
• Body systems

Manufacturing is the Most Dangerous Industry, But Transportation and Material Moving are the Most Dangerous Occupations

Based on the dashboard’s data, manufacturing is the most dangerous industry for workers in Wisconsin. Approximately one in five workplace injuries in Wisconsin involve manufacturing, and the manufacturing industry has a workers’ compensation claim rate of 9 per 1,000 full-time equivalent employees. The industries with the highest numbers of workers’ compensation claims in Wisconsin over the past five years are:

• Manufacturing
• Healthcare and social assistance
• Retail trade
• Transportation and warehousing
• Public administration
• Construction
• Administrative and support services
• Wholesale trade
• Educational services

But, while manufacturing may be the most dangerous industry for workers in Wisconsin, drivers face the highest risk of getting injured on the job. According to the dashboard, the occupations with the highest numbers of workers’ compensation claims in Wisconsin over the past five years are:

• Transportation and material moving
• Production
• Office and administrative support
• Healthcare practitioners and technical services
• Construction and extraction
• Installation, maintenance, and repair
• Building and grounds cleaning and maintenance
• Healthcare support
• Food preparation and serving-related occupations

Lifting Injuries and Shoulder Injuries Are Among the Most Expensive for Employers and Their Insurance Companies

Overall, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ workers compensation dashboard shows that lifting injuries are the most expensive for employers and their insurers. Self-insured employers and workers’ compensation insurance companies paid more than $17 million in total non-medical costs (lost time, permanent partial disability, and permanent total disability) for lifting injuries in 2023. Fall-related injuries are the next most-expensive, followed by: sprains, strains, and tears; pushing and pulling injuries; and injuries from twisting and repetitive motion.

Given that lifting injuries are so common, it is not a surprise that shoulder injuries are among the most expensive for employers and their insurers as well. Shoulder injuries accounted for approximately 20% of all non-medical costs paid in 2023, followed by injuries to the knees, lower back, ankles, wrists, and feet. In terms of the nature of workers’ injuries, sprains, strains, and tears are the most costly, followed by fractures and contusions.

Dozens of Wisconsin Families Are Forced to Cope with Fatal Workplace Accidents Every Year

Sadly, the dashboard’s data show that dozens of families in Wisconsin lose loved ones to fatal workplace accidents every year. While the dashboard does not provide detailed information on these fatal accidents, it is safe to assume that many of them occur in the state’s most-dangerous injuries and most-dangerous occupations, which we covered above. When workplace accidents lead to fatalities, spouses and other eligible family members are entitled to seek workers’ compensation death benefits under Wisconsin law.

Are You Struggling to Cope with the Effects of a Work-Related Accident in Wisconsin?

Are you struggling to cope with the effects of a serious or fatal work-related accident? If so, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits under Wisconsin law. Eligible employees and family members can file workers’ compensation claims on a “no fault” basis, which means that proof of the cause of your (or your loved one’s) accident is not required. While there are some exceptions, these exceptions do not apply in most cases.

If you have a workers’ compensation claim, there are specific requirements you need to meet (including strict deadlines), and mistakes and delays can prove very costly in some cases. With this in mind, it is important that you take action as soon as possible. You can hire a lawyer to help with your workers’ compensation claim at no out-of-pocket cost, and you can rely on your lawyer to fight for the benefits you deserve on your behalf.

If you’ve been injured on the job in Wisconsin, it is up to you to protect your legal rights. While you may be entitled to workers’ compensation, your employer isn’t going to pay voluntarily—and it might even dispute your claim for benefits.

With this being the case, one of the most important things you can do is learn what it takes to protect your legal rights after an injury on the job. Here is an overview of some of the key facts you need to know:

Key Fact #1: Wisconsin Has Strict Deadlines for Workers’ Compensation Claims

The first thing you need to know is that Wisconsin has strict deadlines for workers’ compensation claims. These deadlines can be confusing—and they can be different in different circumstances—so it is generally best to file your workers’ compensation claim as soon as possible.

As the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) explains, “[y]ou should act to notify your employer and get medical attention without delay.” As it goes on to explain, “[a] delay may negatively affect your health and may even jeopardize your potential worker’s compensation benefits. . . . [and f]ailure to report your injury/illness to your employer within two years could result in your claim for worker’s compensation benefits being denied.”

That two-year rule comes from Wis. Stat. § 102.12. It is a separate clock from the statute of limitations under § 102.17(4), which is six years for most traumatic injuries (injuries on or after March 2, 2016); an occupational disease has no statute of limitations. Even so, you do not want to wait any longer than necessary to assert your legal rights. You should report your injury to your employer promptly; and, if you have questions or concerns about reporting your injury, you should talk to an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer right away.

Key Fact #2: Employers Dispute Their Employees’ Claims for Benefits in Many Cases

One of the reasons why it is important to file your workers’ compensation claim promptly is that your employer might dispute your claim for benefits, as we mentioned above. If you wait to file, this will give your employer an excuse to argue that your injury might not be work-related. If you can’t prove that you are eligible for benefits, you won’t receive the benefits you deserve.

Along with filing your workers’ compensation claim promptly, there are some additional steps you can take to help maximize your chances of securing the full benefits you deserve. These include taking photos of the accident scene and/or your injuries with your phone, taking detailed notes, and seeing a doctor as soon as possible.

Key Fact #3: You Can (and Should) Choose Your Doctor

Under Wisconsin law, you have the right to choose your doctor when you need treatment for a job-related injury. Unlike other states, in Wisconsin, your employer cannot tell you where to go for treatment. The Wisconsin DWD makes this clear, stating:

“When a worker reports an injury, the employer shall offer the worker the right to select a doctor of the worker’s choice for treatment. The employee may select any physician, psychologist, chiropractor or podiatrist licensed to practice in Wisconsin.”

When you have a workers’ compensation claim (or think you might have a workers’ compensation claim), you should be sure to tell your doctor that your injury is related to your employment. This way, your doctor can note the cause of your injury in your medical records, and this can help with your claim for benefits.

If you decide to see a different doctor for any reason, you are allowed to make one change without your employer’s approval. But, “[a]fter changing doctors once, any further change may be made only by mutual agreement between the employee, employer and [the employer’s] insurance carrier.”

Key Fact #4: Your Employer Should File a Claim with Its Insurance Carrier

One of the first steps you need to take when you have a workers’ compensation claim in Wisconsin is to notify your employer. This initial notification does not need to be in any specific form, though you should make sure it is in writing; and, if your employer has an incident report form, you should fill out the form as completely and accurately as possible.

Once you report your injury, your employer should file a claim with its insurance carrier. Under Wisconsin law, employers have seven days to file a claim after learning of an on-the-job injury. Once an insurance carrier receives a claim, it then has 14 days to file a report with the Workers’ Compensation Division of the Wisconsin DWD.

You should keep track of these deadlines to the best of your ability (or hire a workers’ compensation lawyer to keep track of them for you). If your employer or its insurance carrier does not timely process your claim, you may need to take further action to collect the benefits you deserve.

Key Fact #5: You Will Need to Be Careful to Ensure You Receive Full Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Even if your employer files a timely claim, this does not necessarily mean that you will receive full benefits. Various issues can still arise at this stage. For example, your employer (or its insurance carrier) may question whether your injury is truly job-related or whether you exacerbated your injury by waiting to seek treatment.

If you have a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, you are entitled to coverage for your medical costs from the date you were injured, and you are entitled to disability benefits if you miss four or more days from work. These benefits should continue for the duration of your eligibility. However, employers (and their insurance carriers) frequently attempt to prematurely terminate employees’ benefits as well—and this is another important factor you will need to keep in mind as you move forward.

Workplace injuries are a significant concern in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is known for its diverse economy that ranges from agriculture to manufacturing. Attorney Lisa Pierobon Mays sees a variety of work-related injuries in her practice of representing Wisconsin injured workers. Let’s review the most common.

1. Musculoskeletal Injuries
   One of the most common types of work injuries in Wisconsin involves musculoskeletal disorders. These injuries primarily affect muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, often resulting from repetitive motion, heavy lifting, or prolonged physical exertion. Industries such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture are particularly susceptible to these injuries due to the physically demanding nature of the work. Workers may suffer from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and lower back injuries, which can lead to chronic pain and long-term disability if not addressed properly. The best causational proof that an injured worker can gather with these types of injuries is an accurate position description delineating the work that the worker actually does on the job, which includes pushing, pulling, lifting, bending, squatting, kneeling, and reaching. Also, a good description of the hourly and daily frequency of such exertional activity is important when describing the work completed. Pictures of the machinery, tools, and equipment also helps when describing the work to a doctor and ultimately the Judge.
2. Slip, Trip, and Fall Injuries
   Slip, trip, and fall injuries are another prevalent cause of work injuries in Wisconsin, particularly in industries like construction, retail, and healthcare. These accidents often occur due to wet or uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or cluttered walkways. We all suffer through Wisconsin’s snowy conditions when the risk of slip and fall injuries increases significantly. These types of injuries can range from minor bruises to severe fractures, head injuries, and even fatalities. In Wisconsin, employers are required to ensure safe working conditions by maintaining clean, dry, and well-lit environments to minimize these risks. Moreover, Wisconsin employers are also responsible for keeping outside parking lots and walkways safe for their employees’ passage, even if not owned by the employer. Oftentimes, snow and pools of water turn icy and hazardous, especially if salting and shoveling of snow is inadequate. The best causational proof that an injured worker can gather with these types of injuries is pictures or videos of the hazardous surface. Also, witness statements can help collaborate the dangerous conditions of the area. An Employee Incident Report proving immediate reporting of the fall and injury are important time markers that add credibility of the occurrence happening at work.
   
3. Machinery-Related Injuries
   Wisconsin is home to a significant number of manufacturing plants and agricultural operations, where heavy machinery and equipment are commonly used. Consequently, machinery-related injuries are a serious concern. These injuries can result from equipment malfunctions, inadequate safety measures, or lack of proper training. Wisconsin workers may suffer from amputations, crush injuries, lacerations, or even fatalities. The best causational proof that an injured worker can gather with these types of injuries is documentation showing that employers in these industries DID NOT provide adequate training, enforce strict safety protocols, and ensure that machinery is well-maintained and equipped with appropriate safety guards. Pictures and videos of the unsafe equipment or missing safety guards is hard evidence for the employer to defend against.
4. Exposure to Harmful Substances
   Another common type of work injury in Wisconsin involves exposure to harmful substances, particularly in industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and chemical processing. The Wisconsin worker is often exposed to pesticides, industrial chemicals, asbestos, and other toxic materials that can lead to respiratory problems, skin conditions, poisoning, or long-term health issues such as cancer. Proper protective equipment, regular health monitoring, and adherence to safety regulations are essential to minimize the risks associated with hazardous substances. The best causational proof that an injured worker can gather with these types of injuries is pictures and videos of the hazardous chemical in the work setting, spillage, machinery, and clothing prove the carelessness of its application. Also, obtaining the Material Safety Data Shet (known as MSDS) of the chemical substances is crucial to linking up the injury with the workplace chemical. Lastly, listing the safety precautions (or, lack thereof) such as safety googles, respirator, gloves, proper ventilation, etc. can go a long way to proving the dangerous of the work environment that the injured worker was exposed to in the employment.
5. Transportation-Related Injuries
   Transportation-related injuries are prevalent in Wisconsin, especially in industries such as logistics, construction, traveling employee, and agriculture. These injuries can occur due to vehicle accidents, improper loading and unloading of goods, or falls from vehicles. Given the extensive network of highways and rural roads in Wisconsin, plus hazardous road conditions with our harsh winters, the risk of transportation-related accidents is significant in this state. Employers must ensure that drivers are properly trained, vehicles are well-maintained, and safety protocols are followed to prevent such injuries. The best causational proof that an injured worker can gather with these types of injuries is proof of reporting, such as police reports, dated pictures of the scene showing the damage, a timely filed and descriptive Incident Report given to the employer, and gathering witness names and their contact information with a timely statement of what they saw.
6. Heat and Cold Stress Injuries
   Wisconsin experiences a wide range of temperatures throughout the year, leading to the risk of heat and cold stress injuries. Wisconsin workers in agriculture, construction, and outdoor maintenance are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather conditions. Heat stress can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke, while cold stress can cause frostbite, hypothermia, and other cold-related injuries. The best causational proof that an injured worker can gather with these types of injuries is proof that the employer DID NOT take steps to protect workers from extreme weather, such as providing adequate breaks, access to hydration, and proper clothing. Also, weather reports and pictures of the reports proving extreme weather conditions are helpful in supporting the injury as work-related. Proof of timely report to the employer (such as a text message, email or an Incident Report) and timely medical treatment are crucial to prove that an extreme weather injury occurred on the job.

In close, work injuries in Wisconsin are influenced by our state’s diverse industries and environmental factors. Musculoskeletal injuries, slip, trip, and fall incidents, machinery-related injuries, exposure to harmful substances, transportation-related injuries, and heat and cold stress are among only the most common types of workplace injuries suffered by Wisconsin workers.

Facing a DUI charge is challenging for many reasons. Not only is the process of defending against a DUI charge challenging in itself, but the additional stress and worry you face during the process can interfere with all aspects of your daily life.

But, if you get convicted, your challenges could be far more significant. Drunk driving charges are serious, and a DUI conviction can negatively impact your life for years to come. With this in mind, if you have a DUI trial scheduled in 2025, you need to start working now to protect yourself.

Resources for Individuals Facing DUI Charges in Wisconsin

We published several resources for individuals facing DUI charges in Wisconsin over the past year. Here is a look back at some of these resources—along with some additional insights on how to protect yourself if you’ve been charged with driving under the influence:

Making an Informed Decision About Your Legal Representation

You will need to make several important decisions during your DUI case. But, one of the most important decisions you must make is also one of the first: Should you hire a lawyer to represent you?

The short answer to this question is “Yes”—and there are several reasons why. But, if you are on the fence about hiring a lawyer to represent you, we encourage you to read these articles to ensure that you are making an informed decision:

• Should I Represent Myself in My DUI Case? 10 Reasons Not to Handle Your Case Alone
• 10 Reasons to Hire a Lawyer for Your Wisconsin DUI Case

Understanding Your DUI Case and All of the Risks Involved

Two of the most important reasons to hire an experienced DUI lawyer are: (i) DUI cases are complicated, and (ii) DUI cases are extremely high-risk. Presenting an effective defense requires a clear understanding of the relevant facts and the relevant law.

Suppose you overlook essential facts or do not comprehensively understand Wisconsin’s DUI laws and the constitutional principles that protect you. In that case, you cannot assert a sound defense. To get an idea of some of the facts and laws that might be relevant to your DUI case, you can read:

• 10 Key Questions to Ask (and Answer) When Facing a DUI in Wisconsin
• Wisconsin Drunk Driving Laws: What to Know After an Arrest

Important Facts Most People Don’t Know About Facing a DUI

Another critical reason to hire an experienced lawyer is that there are many facts that most people don’t know about facing a DUI charge in Wisconsin. Did you know that prosecutors don’t need your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to secure a conviction? Did you know that prosecutors can use many other forms of evidence to win a “Guilty” verdict in court? These are just a few of the key facts and common misconceptions we covered in 10 Facts Most People Don’t Know About Facing an OWI in Wisconsin.

Deciding How to Approach Your DUI Case

Since Wisconsin does not have a diversion program for DUI cases, you have two main options when it comes to deciding how to approach your defense: (i) you can seek a plea bargain, or (ii) you can fight your DUI charge in court.

So, which option should you choose?

Generally speaking, seeking a plea bargain is a good option for DUI defendants who do not have a viable path toward avoiding a conviction in court. If you are likely to get convicted of DUI if you go to trial, then it may make sense to plead guilty to a lesser offense or seek a reduced sentence through the plea-bargaining process. To learn more about the considerations in pursuing a plea bargain, read DUI Plea Bargain: Should You Consider a Deal in Your Wisconsin Case?

Deciding What to Do if You Need to Go to Trial

You must fight your DUI charge in court if you decide not to seek a plea bargain. While there are opportunities to seek dismissal of your DUI charge before your trial date arrives, unless and until you get your DUI charge dismissed, you will need to focus on preparing for trial.

Going to trial also involves making several important decisions. Should you request a jury trial? Should you testify? These are just two examples of key decisions you must make in close consultation with your DUI lawyer.

Seeking Dismissal of Your Wisconsin DUI Charge

Once you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence, the best-case scenario is to get your DUI charge dismissed. While this isn’t feasible in all cases, there are a variety of potential ways to seek dismissal of a DUI charge in Wisconsin. To learn about some key considerations in seeking dismissal—before or during the trial—you can read: How Do You Get a Wisconsin DUI Dismissed?

Keeping Key Evidence Out of Your DUI Case

One grounds for seeking dismissal of a DUI charge in Wisconsin is that prosecutors don’t have enough evidence to secure a conviction. If prosecutors don’t have the evidence to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, you should not have to stand trial—and you certainly do not deserve to be convicted.

With this in mind, seeking to keep the prosecution’s evidence out of court can be a key defense strategy in many cases. Along with constitutional protections that can prevent the use of all forms of evidence, each type of evidence in a DUI case can be subject to challenge on various specific grounds as well. Are you entitled to have the prosecution’s evidence against you kept out of court? Read How to Keep Key Evidence Out of Your Wisconsin DUI Case to find out.

If you’ve been injured on the job, you’re likely facing significant challenges—from navigating your recovery to understanding your legal rights. Workers’ compensation is designed to help injured employees, but the process can often feel complex and overwhelming.

This guide simplifies the process, provides essential information about workers’ compensation in Dane County, and explains how an experienced workers’ compensation attorney in Madison can help you secure the benefits you deserve.

What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance program in Wisconsin that benefits employees injured or ill due to workplace conditions. As workers’ comp attorneys in Madison, we see firsthand how this system supports employees, covering medical bills, lost wages, and more.

Critical features of Wisconsin’s workers’ compensation system include:

• No-fault coverage: Benefits are available regardless of fault if the injury is work-related.
• Broad coverage: Includes medical expenses, wage replacement, and vocational rehabilitation.
• Exclusive remedy: Generally, workers’ compensation is your only recourse against an employer for a workplace injury.

If you’re unsure about your eligibility, consult a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney in Madison to clarify your rights.

Are You Covered Under Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Laws?

Most employees in Wisconsin are covered, but there are exceptions:

• Independent contractors: Often excluded unless their work arrangement qualifies them as employees.
• Domestic workers: Typically excluded unless the employer opts for voluntary coverage.
• Volunteers: Unpaid workers are usually only covered if specified by law.

If unsure whether you qualify, consulting with an attorney specializing in workers’ compensation in Madison is crucial.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury

1. Report Your Injury Immediately

The first step is notifying your employer. Delayed reporting could give insurers grounds to dispute your claim. Provide details about when, where, and how the injury occurred. Keep a copy of your written report for your records.

2. Seek Medical Attention

Wisconsin law allows you to choose your doctor, but you may also need an independent medical examination (IME). Documentation from your healthcare provider will be essential in supporting your claim.

3. File a Claim

After reporting your injury, your employer must notify their workers’ compensation insurer. If your employer or insurer disputes your claim, you must apply with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD).

Having an experienced workers’ comp attorney in Madison by your side can make this process smoother and more effective.

Benefits You May Be Entitled To

Workers’ compensation provides several types of benefits, including:

Medical Coverage

Covers all necessary treatment related to your workplace injury, including:

• Doctor visits.
• Hospital stays.
• Physical therapy.
• Prescriptions.

Lost Wages

If you’re unable to work, you may qualify for temporary disability benefits:

• Temporary Total Disability (TTD): For workers who cannot work during recovery.
• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): Workers earning reduced wages during recovery.

Permanent Disability

If your injury results in lasting impairment:

• Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): For partial but lasting injuries.
• Permanent Total Disability (PTD): For injuries preventing all work.

Vocational Rehabilitation

Retraining or job placement services may be covered if you can’t return to your former job.

Why Madison Workers Need an Attorney

Even though workers’ compensation is designed to be straightforward, disputes often arise. As seasoned workers’ comp attorneys in Madison, we help clients address common challenges, including:

1. Claim Denials

Insurance companies may dispute:

• Whether the injury is work-related.
• The severity of your condition.
• Timeliness of reporting.

2. Insufficient Benefits

Insurers often undervalue claims, leaving you without enough support for medical bills or lost wages.

3. Employer Retaliation

It’s illegal for employers to retaliate against workers who file compensation claims, but it happens.

4. Independent Medical Exams (IMEs)

IMEs often favor insurance companies, but we protect our client’s rights against biased evaluations.
