Together, they break down how workers’ compensation and personal injury law intersect, when both claims may apply, and why collaboration between firms can make a critical difference for clients. Patrick also shares his experience serving Wisconsin’s Spanish-speaking community and the importance of trust, clarity, and early guidance after a workplace injury.

⚖️ What workers’ compensation really is (and common misconceptions)
🔁 When a workplace injury also becomes a personal injury case
🤝 Why PI and Work Comp attorneys often need to collaborate
🗣️ Serving Spanish-speaking injured workers in Wisconsin
📋 Early mistakes injured workers make — and how to avoid them
🏗️ The day-to-day reality of being a Work Comp attorney
