William E. Parsons

Wisconsin Workers Compensation Attorney And Wisconsin Long Term Disability Lawyer William E. Parsons is a long term disability lawyer and Wisconsin workers compensation attorney at the Madison office of Hawks Quindel, S.C. His practice focuses on representing individuals with Wisconsin workers compensation claims, long term disability insurance claims, and unpaid wage disputes. Bill has practiced with the firm since 2004 and became a shareholder in 2008. Wisconsin Long Term Disability Attorney (LTDI) As a Wisconsin long term disability insurance attorney, I represent individuals nationwide who have been denied benefits by their long term disability insurance company. I help secure my client’s short and long term disability benefits by thoroughly collecting information about them, their work histories, and their medical conditions. Then I develop the evidence necessary to appeal the denial of long term disability insurance benefits. If necessary, I take the long term disability insurance company to court to ensure you get the benefits you are entitled to. As a Wisconsin long term disability attorney, I have secured long term disability insurance benefits for clients against all the major insurance companies including Aetna, CIGNA, Disability RMS, Hartford, Lincoln Financial, Madison National, Sedgwick, and Unum. If you have been denied your short or long term disability insurance benefits and need a long term disability attorney, please contact me. Wisconsin Workers Compensation Attorney As a Wisconsin workers compensation attorney, I represent individuals who have been denied benefits by their workers compensation insurance company after they have suffered a work injury. My clients are entitled to these benefits to help them pay their bills until they can begin working again. Sometimes, however, workers are denied benefits by their workers compensation insurer, who believes for any number of reasons that the worker is unqualified for benefits because of the character or context of the injury, the details of the insurance policy, or a misinterpretation of the law. In these circumstances, legal representation by a Wisconsin workers compensation attorney can be the difference between a tolerable recovery time and a financially difficult one. If you have been hurt at work and would like to discuss your situation with a Wisconsin workers compensation attorney who has represented clients in hundreds of claims, please contact me. On Your Side I enjoy taking on insurance companies to help my clients receive the workers compensation and long term disability benefits they are owed. Unlike some attorneys, I only represent individual workers and employees; I have never represented employers or insurance companies. When working for you, I will always be on your side, I have taken on large employers and insurance companies and will not be intimidated by them. No Fee Unless We Win I represent clients on a contingent fee basis, which means that I do not get paid unless I recover benefits for you. I understand the insurance company has taken away a significant portion of your monthly income. My clients do not need to pay me anything until I successfully resolve their case. Comprehensive Team Based Approach One thing I love about working for Hawks Quindel is the breadth of knowledge our attorneys have. As you can see in our Practices Areas, our firm focuses on all areas of employment law, not just workers compensation or long term disability law. Oftentimes, clients come to me looking for a Wisconsin workers compensation attorney or long term disability lawyer, but as we dig into their case we find they also need assistance with other employment-related matters related to workers comp or LTDI. For example, clients with workers comp and LTDI claims may also have questions about Social Security Disability benefits, health insurance, COBRA options, or disability discrimination. When issues outside my specific expertise arise, I collaborate with experienced, expert colleagues who can specifically address my client’s needs. This ability to address the full spectrum of employee legal claims is incredibly convenient and effective for my clients, and it really sets our firm apart as a comprehensive, one-stop shop for employee legal needs. Experienced With Wisconsin and Federal Courts I have represented clients in cases before various state administrative agencies, Wisconsin Circuit Courts, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Wisconsin. I received my undergraduate degree from Marquette University and graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin Law School. I have presented on developing issues in Wisconsin workers compensation law, wage and hour law, and has been a guest lecturer at the University of Wisconsin and Marquette University Law Schools. If you would like to discuss your case with an experienced Wisconsin workers compensation attorney or long term disability lawyer, send me an email or call our Madison office.
