Positioned at the crossroads of Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, New Berlin combines established manufacturing operations with one of southeastern Wisconsin's most active construction markets. WIN Injury Network protects the workers who build and sustain this growing suburban economy.

Its established industrial parks along Moorland Road, Cleveland Avenue, and the National Avenue corridor house precision machining operations, metal stamping companies, plastics injection molders, and specialized manufacturers that supply the automotive, medical device, and aerospace industries. Companies like Actuant Corporation (now Enerpac Tool Group), Rexnord, and numerous privately held manufacturers employ skilled machinists, tool-and-die makers, assembly workers, and quality control technicians. These are workers who operate CNC mills and lathes, grinding machines, EDM wire cutters, and hydraulic presses — equipment that demands precision and punishes mistakes. A tool breakage on a CNC lathe can send metal fragments at bullet-like velocities. A hydraulic press malfunction can exert hundreds of tons of force on a misplaced hand.
New Berlin's construction sector operates at a pace that reflects the city's desirability as both a residential and commercial location. Custom home construction in established neighborhoods coexists with new subdivision development along the city's western and southern boundaries. Commercial projects — office buildings, retail centers, and industrial park expansions — add to the construction workforce. Road construction projects along I-43, Highway 164, and Moorland Road employ crews in high-traffic environments. Construction workers in New Berlin face the full range of jobsite hazards: falls from heights, scaffold failures, trench cave-ins, electrocution, struck-by incidents involving heavy equipment, and nail gun injuries. The residential construction sector is particularly dangerous because smaller builders may prioritize speed over safety compliance.
New Berlin's position straddling the Milwaukee-Waukesha county line also creates a significant commuter workforce — many residents work at employers throughout both counties, while workers from surrounding communities commute to New Berlin's industrial parks. Vehicle accidents during work-related travel represent an often-overlooked category of workers' comp claims. If you are driving between job sites, making deliveries, or traveling to a client meeting and are involved in a crash, that injury is typically covered by workers' compensation. WIN Injury Network helps New Berlin workers understand and exercise all of their rights under Wisconsin law.
WIN Injury Network represents injured workers in New Berlin and throughout the Milwaukee-Waukesha border area, including Brookfield, Muskego, Big Bend, Greenfield, Hales Corners, and West Allis. Whether your employer is in Waukesha County or Milwaukee County, we handle your claim.
Wisconsin law requires that you report your workplace injury to your employer within 30 days. You then have 2 years from the date of injury to file a workers' compensation claim. New Berlin construction workers employed by small builders should be especially diligent about documenting injuries — some small contractors lack formal HR departments and may not file reports on your behalf. Contact WIN Injury Network immediately after any New Berlin workplace injury to ensure your claim is properly protected.
New Berlin's manufacturing heritage and construction growth create workplace hazards across every sector. If a machining accident, construction fall, or work-related vehicle crash has left you injured, WIN Injury Network will evaluate your case at no cost and pursue every dollar of compensation Wisconsin workers' comp law provides.
