Protecting Wisconsin's Injured Workers
Workplace injuries can upend your life, leaving you with medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty. As a seasoned Madison workers’ compensation lawyer at LawtonCates, S.C., I’m dedicated to helping injured workers across Wisconsin secure the benefits they’re entitled to. With over a decade of experience, I navigate the complexities of workers’ compensation claims, from construction accidents to repetitive use injuries, ensuring employers and insurers are held accountable.
​
I understand the physical, financial, and emotional toll of a workplace injury. That’s why my “Client for Life” approach goes beyond securing benefits for medical care, wage replacement, or disability—it’s about being your trusted advisor for life. I provide clear guidance on Wisconsin’s workers’ compensation laws, fight for your best outcome, and appeal denied claims to protect your rights. My Madison-based practice serves workers statewide, from factory employees to office professionals, with a focus on personalized representation.
​
To add value, I offer free consultations, transparent fee structures, and resources like blog posts on workers’ rights to empower you. I also collaborate with medical and vocational experts to strengthen your case, ensuring you receive the maximum benefits possible. If you’ve been injured on the job in Madison, Milwaukee, or anywhere in Wisconsin, don’t let insurance companies take advantage of you.
