Workplace injuries have serious consequences for both employees and employers, as they face difficult decisions and complex legal obligations. That’s why injured workers, their employers, and insurers turn to attorneys who understand the nuances of Wisconsin’s worker’s compensation system. The 49th Annual Worker’s Compensation Update brings together the key players, updates, and analysis you need to provide informed, effective counsel in workplace injury claims.

Your full workup

Start the day with a rapid case law review, breaking down the most significant decisions from the past year. Then hear directly from the Office of Worker’s Compensation Hearings (OWCH) and receive a legislative rundown covering new statutory changes and recent decisions from the Labor & Industry Review Commission (LIRC). Finally, conclude with a deep dive into the latest developments on Medicare Set-Asides (MSAs), including strategies, approval processes, and funding.
