Before anything else, make sure your medical situation is handled. Once you have that plan in place, the next priority is evidence.
For many Wisconsin residents, the hardest part is not “knowing the law”—it’s keeping track of details while juggling work, kids, and treatment. A legal team can help you organize what matters most so your claim doesn’t stall later.
What to gather early (especially if you’re in the middle of treatment):
- Your diagnosis timeline (when symptoms started, when you were evaluated, key test dates)
- Pathology and imaging results (ask your provider which documents you should request)
- Your product exposure history (brands if known, approximate years, where it was used)
- Any insurance paperwork tied to treatment costs (statements, explanations of benefits)
If you still have any packaging or containers, keep them. If not, don’t worry—many cases can still proceed using records, household history, and medical documentation.
