Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers

Who Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers Serve

The firm works with people in many tough situations. Their clients are often:

• Workers hurt on the job

• Families dealing with wrongful death

• Victims of serious car or truck accidents

• People struggling with disability claims

• Clients facing civil rights violations

Many of these people never thought they’d need a lawyer. But when injury, loss, or unfair treatment happens, the support of an experienced legal team can make all the difference.

Why People Turn to Injury Lawyers

When an accident or injury happens, insurance companies and employers often promise to help. But reality doesn’t always match those promises. Claims get delayed, benefits are denied, and families are left scrambling.

Lawyers step in to balance the fight. Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers know the tricks that big companies use to pay as little as possible. They stand beside their clients to make sure rights are protected and fair results are reached.

Workplace Injury Cases

Workplace injuries are common, and they can change lives in an instant. Wisconsin workers are supposed to get benefits when they’re hurt at work, but the system doesn’t always run smoothly.

Some employers deny that the injury happened on the job. Insurance companies argue that the worker can return sooner than they really can. Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers fight to make sure injured workers get the care, pay, and time they need to heal.

They also help with appeals when claims are denied, guiding clients step by step so they don’t feel lost in a confusing process.

Disability Claims

When injuries leave lasting effects, some people can’t return to work at all. Social Security

Disability benefits are designed to help, but most first-time applications get denied.

The firm steps in to help clients build strong cases. They collect medical records, work history, and expert testimony to show why benefits are needed. Winning these cases often makes the difference between financial struggle and stability.

Personal Injury Lawsuits

The firm also handles personal injury lawsuits outside of work-related claims. These often include:

• Car or truck crashes caused by careless drivers

• Slip-and-fall accidents on unsafe property

• Medical mistakes that cause lasting harm

• Wrongful death cases that leave families grieving

These cases aim to secure fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and the pain of adjusting to life after an injury.

First Steps With a Lawyer

The first meeting is often the hardest step for clients. Many worry about cost or whether their problem is “big enough” for a lawyer. Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers keep it simple.

The first conversation is free, and clients don’t pay anything upfront. The firm usually works on a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if the client wins. This setup helps clients feel safe about reaching out for help.

Building a Strong Case

Legal cases are built on facts. That means collecting documents, medical reports, and witness statements. Sometimes outside experts are brought in to explain details about injuries, safety issues, or workplace rules.

By gathering strong proof, the firm builds cases that stand up against insurance companies or in court.

Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies don’t always act in good faith. Some common tactics they use include:

• Offering low settlements right away

• Delaying payments to pressure clients

• Questioning whether injuries are serious

• Denying necessary care

Lawyers know these strategies and push back hard. Clients don’t have to face these fights alone.

The Impact on Families

An injury or wrongful death never affects just one person. Families often take on new roles as caregivers, breadwinners, or emotional support. Stress builds up, and bills can feel overwhelming.

The firm’s work often gives families a chance to breathe. By securing compensation, they help families cover medical costs, replace lost income, and keep life on track.

Civil Rights Cases

Some cases go beyond injuries. Civil rights violations, like discrimination or retaliation at work, can leave people feeling powerless. Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers take these cases seriously.

They stand with clients who’ve been mistreated based on race, gender, disability, or other unfair factors. Their work helps protect not just the individual client, but also sets an example that unfair treatment won’t be ignored.

Settlements and Trials

Many cases end with settlements, where both sides agree on payment without going to court. Settlements can save time and stress.

But if a fair deal can’t be reached, the firm is ready to go to trial. In court, they present the evidence and fight for the best possible outcome. Clients know their lawyers won’t back down when justice is on the line.

The Role of Experts

Expert witnesses often play a key role in cases. Doctors explain long-term health effects. Economists calculate the cost of lost income. Safety experts point out where rules were ignored.

These expert voices strengthen the case, making sure judges, juries, or insurance companies see the full picture.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Injured people often make mistakes without realizing it. Some wait too long to report an injury. Others accept quick settlements before knowing the full cost of recovery.

The firm helps clients avoid these traps. By guiding them from the start, they build stronger claims and prevent costly errors.

Emotional Recovery Matters

Injuries don’t just cause physical pain. They can also bring stress, fear, and frustration. Many clients feel upset about losing independence or not being able to work.

The firm understands that recovery is more than medical care. They fight for compensation that also covers the emotional toll of accidents and injuries.

Long-Term Care Needs

Some injuries never fully heal. People may need ongoing therapy, medical equipment, or home care. These costs can add up for years.

Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers make sure settlements or benefits cover future needs, not just immediate bills. Their goal is to protect clients’ long-term stability.

Communication With Clients

One of the biggest frustrations in legal cases is not knowing what’s happening. This firm makes communication a priority. They update clients regularly, explain steps in plain language, and answer questions quickly.

This open communication helps clients feel supported, even when cases take a long time to finish.

Community Involvement

The firm isn’t just focused on cases. They also take part in community events, safety programs, and educational outreach. By sharing information about rights and safety, they help prevent accidents and build stronger communities.

Life After Winning a Case

Winning a case is often the start of a new chapter. Clients may need to adjust to life with lasting injuries or plan for a future without a loved one.

The firm often connects clients with resources like financial planning, medical support, or counseling. Their role goes beyond the courtroom—they want clients to move forward with confidence.

Real Client Stories

Imagine a factory worker hurt by unsafe equipment. Without legal help, he might only get partial care. With the firm’s support, he secures full medical coverage and income replacement.

Or picture a teacher denied disability benefits. With the firm’s guidance, she wins her appeal, giving her family financial security.

These stories show why legal help matters.

Why Patience Pays Off

Legal cases can take time. Some settle quickly, but others stretch for months or even years. Waiting is frustrating, but rushing can lead to smaller results.

The firm reminds clients that patience often leads to better outcomes. Their steady approach helps clients focus on healing while the lawyers handle the long process.

The Cost of Not Hiring a Lawyer

Some people try to take on cases alone. They might think a lawyer is too expensive or unnecessary. But without legal guidance, they often walk away with much less than they deserve.

Insurance companies have teams of lawyers. Facing them without help puts injured people at a huge disadvantage. Having Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers on your side often makes the difference between scraping by and getting real justice.

Safety Education and Prevention

Beyond fighting for clients, the firm also supports efforts to keep communities safer. They share information about workplace protections, safe driving, and legal rights. By spreading awareness, they help prevent accidents before they happen.

FINAL THOUGHTS

When accidents, injuries, or unfair treatment happen, life can feel out of control. Bills, stress, and uncertainty pile up fast.

Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs Lawyers give people a fighting chance. They protect clients’ rights, push back against powerful companies, and make sure families get the support they need.

At the end of the day, their mission is simple: to help people rebuild, recover, and move forward with dignity and strength.
