• Tabak Law has recently settled one of the firm’s largest worker’s compensation cases in Wisconsin history, says Attorney Alex Eichhorn, during an interview with the Wisconsin Law Journal Thursday. According to Eichhorn, he recently secured $5 million in benefits for three workers who were tragically injured in a 2019 explosion. Eichhorn noted although the injury occurred outside of Wisconsin, the company was based in Wisconsin, so the settlement negotiations had jurisdiction in the Badger State. Almost four years after the incident, justice has finally been served, he noted. “I think ultimately there was a lot of justice served,” Eichhorn said. According to Eichhorn, one of the injured had 95% of his body burned during the explosion, resulting in more than 35 surgeries to the victim’s esophagus. The $5 million verdict was taken on a contingency fee, Eichhorn said, noting that a third-party settlement out-of-state resulted in an additional $20 million. “In that case, counsel demonstrated there was knowledge of faulty leak in propane or they should have known,” he said. https://wislawjournal.com/2023/12/08/alex-eichhorn-tabak-law-secures-5-million-workers-comp-settlement/, 2023

• The article emphasizes the importance of promptly reporting and documenting even minor workplace injuries to protect an employee’s right to Wisconsin workers’ compensation benefits. Minor injuries, such as strains, soreness, or repetitive-use symptoms, can develop into more serious conditions over time. Early documentation establishes a timeline connecting the injury to employment and helps prevent insurers from disputing causation, notice, or the relationship to preexisting conditions. The article recommends reporting injuries to supervisors, completing incident reports, seeking medical attention when appropriate, and keeping written records. These steps can strengthen medical opinions, support future claims, and identify workplace hazards before they cause more serious injuries. Key takeaway: Even seemingly insignificant workplace injuries should be documented promptly because early reporting can make a substantial difference if symptoms worsen or a workers’ compensation dispute arises later., How Documenting Even “Small” Injuries Can Help Your Wisconsin Workers’ Compensation Claim in the Future, Workers Compensation
