Injured But Not Sure What Kind Of Lawyer You Need? Bosshard Parke Can Help

Suffering an injury can be overwhelming, and figuring out the legal side of things only adds to the stress. You may be asking yourself, “Do I need a workers’ compensation attorney, a personal injury lawyer, or someone else entirely?” If you’re unsure, don’t worry — that’s where we come in.

At Bosshard Parke, we understand that legal matters can be complex and confusing. Our experienced attorneys are here to help you determine the right course of action and ensure you receive the compensation and support you deserve. Let’s break down the main types of injury cases and how we can assist you.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

If you were injured while on the job, a workers’ compensation claim may be your best option. Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses.

Signs You May Need A Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

• You were hurt on the job and are struggling to receive benefits.
• Your employer denies your injury happened at work.
• The insurance company disputes your claim.
• You have a pre-existing condition that complicates your case.
• Your benefits are delayed, reduced, or cut off prematurely.

Workers’ compensation cases can be complicated, especially if your employer or the insurance company refuses to provide fair compensation. Bosshard Parke’s workers’ compensation attorneys will stand up for your rights and ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to under Wisconsin law.

Personal Injury Claims

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrong doing, you may have a personal injury claim. Personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents, including:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Dog bites
• Medical malpractice

Unlike workers’ compensation claims, personal injury cases allow you to pursue compensation for a broader range of damages, including pain and suffering.

Signs You May Need A Personal Injury Lawyer

• You were injured in a car accident and the other driver was at fault.
• A hazardous condition on someone’s property caused your injury.
• You experienced medical negligence that resulted in harm.
• The insurance company is offering a low settlement.
• You’re dealing with long-term or permanent injuries.

At Bosshard Parke, our personal injury attorneys are dedicated to helping victims recover the compensation they need to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. We’ll handle the legal complexities while you focus on healing.

Other Areas Of Law To Consider

While workers’ compensation and personal injury claims cover most injury cases, there are situations where other legal expertise may be necessary:

• Product Liability: If you were injured by a defective product, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer or retailer.
• Social Security Disability (SSD) Claims: If your injury prevents you from working, you may qualify for SSD benefits. We can help you navigate the application or appeals process.
• Premises Liability: If you were injured on someone else’s property, such as in a slip and fall accident, we can determine if you have a premises liability case.
• Wrongful Death: If you lost a loved one due to someone’s negligence, we provide compassionate legal support to pursue a wrongful death claim.

That’s completely normal — injuries often come with legal questions, and it’s not always easy to know what kind of lawyer you need. The good news is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
