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.  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.
