What Are Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
Medical Benefits
Workers’ compensation benefits exist primarily to cover the medical costs of your injury. This includes your doctor’s visits, medical procedures like surgeries, physical therapy sessions, medication, and other associated expenses.
Disability Benefits for Lost Wages
- Temporary partial disability: You are still able to do some work, but cannot perform all of your regular duties.
- Temporary total disability: You can’t work at all temporarily, but you will recover.
- Permanent partial disability: You won’t recover from your injuries, but you can still do some work.
- Permanent total disability: You won’t recover and are unable to work your same job or other positions.
How To File a Workers’ Comp Claim in Wisconsin
When you are injured at work, give notice of the injury to your employer as soon as possible. The notice can be given either verbally or in writing but must include the time, date, and nature of the injury, the circumstances, and the need for medical attention.
You should give notice within 30 days of discovering the injury to fully protect your right to workers’ comp benefits, but you must give notice within two years to receive any compensation.
Next, get medical attention and keep all records of doctor’s visits, procedures, and bills. Your employer is required to report the injury to the insurance carrier, who will then report it to the state workers’ compensation division.
