Workers’ Compensation Appeals in Wisconsin

Handled By Our Workers' Compensation Lawyer in Milwaukee

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied and you believe you are entitled to benefits, you have the right to appeal that decision. At Cooper Law Group, our workers’ compensation attorney in Milwaukee strongly represents clients for workers’ compensation appeals. We are often able to secure successful outcomes by educating our clients and effectively communicating throughout the appeals process.

About The Appeals Process

Workers’ compensation disputes may either be resolved through an informal alternative dispute process or a formal hearing, depending on the situation. Initially, most cases go through the informal process with the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Unit. A specialist from the ADR Unit may contact your insurer to attempt to resolve the dispute without a formal hearing.

During this process, the ADR personnel will:

• Thoroughly analyze your claim to assess the issues that are in dispute
• Check that the official medical information supports your claim
• Attempt to resolve the dispute through alternative methods, such as mediation or arbitration

When the dispute is unable to be resolved using this process, you can ask for a formal hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. This is a legal proceeding and, while you are not required to have a lawyer, it is often in your best interests to have a representative to prepare a strong case for your appeal and guide you through the process. Our attorney will handle all aspects of your appeal, from completing your application for a hearing to gathering the necessary documentation to support your claim.
