Here at Pratt Legal Services we understand that the WSIB system can be a confusing and frustrating process, especially for injured workers who have never pursued a WSIB claim, have a significant language barrier, or are having difficulty coping with the consequences of their injuries. Injured workers are often not familiar with their rights under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA), or with their obligations regarding returning to work, medical treatment, and general communications with the WSIB.
If you are an injured worker, Pratt Legal Services can assist you in understanding your rights and obligations under the Act. We represent clients regarding any claims or disputes that may arise with the WSIB.
