Experienced And Reliable Construction Accident Lawyers
Last updated on December 5, 2025
Construction sites are dynamic, high-risk work environments. When accidents occur, the impact on a worker can be career and life-altering. Injured workers often face mounting medical treatments expenses, lost wages and uncertainty about the future. Because these claims can involve serious injuries, navigating the need for medical care, and complex insurance issues, working with a construction accident attorney can help ensure your rights and benefits are fully protected under Wisconsin workers’ compensation law.
At Domer Law, S.C., we represent injured workers in Milwaukee, Waukesha and across the state of Wisconsin. With over 100 years of combined attorney experience and a firm history dating back to 2001, we fully understand the challenges construction workers face after a serious job site injury (while we can never walk in the shoes of our clients, we certainly empathize with their needs and then advocate for the best course of action). Our lawyers are committed to helping you receive proper medical care and fair wage benefits, while also evaluating whether additional claims may exist.
What Common Hazards And Serious Injuries Do Construction Workers Face?
Construction sites expose workers to numerous hazards:
- Falls (scaffolding, rooftops, ladders)
- Struck-by incidents (falling tools, heavy equipment, vehicles)
- Caught-in/between accidents (machinery, trench collapses)
- Electrocution and severe burns
- Repetitive stress accidents–injuries caused by cumulative job duties
These incidents can result in life-changing injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Amputations from machinery or crushing events
- Severe bone fractures requiring surgery
- Joint replacements
- Burn injuries affecting skin, nerves and mobility
- Permanent work restrictions impacting long-term earning capacity
Construction injuries are often serious and require expensive medical care. We handle complex cases involving long recovery periods and permanent medical restrictions. Our lawyers help ensure care, treatment and wage-loss benefits are properly documented and pursued.
What Does Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Cover?
Workers’ compensation benefits offer crucial support following a construction accident in Wisconsin. Coverage includes:
- Medical costs: All reasonable and necessary treatment, therapies, prescriptions and travel mileage to appointments
- Temporary disability benefits: Wage replacement, generally two-thirds of your average weekly wage (subject to annual maximum limits) during recovery from the injury
- Permanent disability benefits (PPD): Compensation calculated based on your injury type and level of permanent loss of function (assessed by a treating physician).
- Vocational retraining benefits: Where the insurance company pays the worker to return to school–including tuition and book payments–to restore the worker’s earning capacity.
- Loss of earning capacity claims: Only for certain injuries like spine and head injuries, if the worker’s permanent limitations do not allow a return to their injury employer.
These benefits are designed to support your recovery, protect your income and help you maintain stability as you work toward returning to your life and livelihood.
