How a Wisconsin work injury claim works
Here’s the process Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce Development describes. This page shares general information, not legal advice.
Report the injury
Tell your supervisor right away. You must report it to your employer within two years to qualify.1
Your employer reports it
Your employer reports the injury to its insurance carrier, or its claims office if self-insured.1 You don’t have to file a claim yourself if you reported the injury.1
Choose your care
You can choose a licensed Wisconsin chiropractor. Tell your employer who you choose.2 Learn more in our guide for injured workers.
Hear from the insurer
If it’s still investigating, the insurer must notify you within 14 days of learning of the injury. If it denies the claim, it must tell you within 7 days of its decision.1
What to keep and what to bring
Good records keep your claim on track.

That’s OK. Verify your insurance and choose “Work injury.” Our team will check your claim details.

Notes about work restrictions
Your doctor can talk with you about work restrictions and provide notes for your employer.
Back to work, safely
Keep in touch with your employer and your doctor. Your employer and your practitioner must both agree before you return to work.1
Every Chiropractic Company clinic accepts workers’ compensation.
