WORK INJURY?
ROBISON LAW LLC is dedicated to helping injured employees in Wisconsin and Illinois obtain the best possible medical care and maximum financial compensation allowable under the law. Our laws compensate injured workers for economic harm, and medical treatment, and in the worst cases, it provides death benefits for dependents.

Robison Law is prepared to stand up to any employer for the compensation you deserve.

- Payment of Medical Bills and mileage reimbursements for trips to the doctor

- Wrongful termination penalties for employers who wrongfully terminate injured or disabled employees
- Safe Place violation penalties for employers who allow workers to use unsafe machinery or engage in unsafe or illegal work practices
- Bad Faith Penalties of up to 200% in wrongfully denied benefits against workers' compensation insurance companies that refuse to pay benefits without reason
