Fortunately, our Green Bay law firm understands Wisconsin workers compensation law and can help you determine your legal rights.

Wisconsin Workers Compensation

Wisconsin workers compensation law provides that an injured employee may apply to the the Wisconsin Department of Vocational Rehabilitation for an evaluation to determine if additional training or further education will be required to allow the employee to return to the work force.  If the state determines such re-training is required, the employers workers compensation insurance carrier may be responsible for the expense of the re-training or additional education. This expense may include tuition, books, tools, mileage and associated expense.

Workers compensation insurance companies typically dispute such claims. Both the evaluation process through the state and resolving disputes with the workers compensation insurance carrier is very complex.
