Worker's Compensation 

For Workers

Every year in Wisconsin, thousands of workers who experience job-related injuries or illnesses receive medical treatments and wage replacement through worker's compensation.

Worker's Compensation is a form of insurance that is paid for in advance by your employer which entitles you to full medical coverage and part of your salary for job-related injuries and illnesses.

Worker's Compensation benefits can provide the urgently needed medical care.  And, it can provide the needed financial support for workers and their families. 

NOTE:  You are required by law to notify your Employer's Worker's Compensation Insurance Company if you are receiving both Worker's Compensation benefits and Social Security Disability payments.
