Demystifying the WCB.
Blue Collar exists to resolve predicaments related to workers’ compensation. By assisting workers and employers, we help minimize the aggravation, suffering, and needless expenditures associated with WCB difficulties.
With years of experience, an impressive collection of qualifications, and many dozens of satisfied clients — it’s no surprise that Blue Collar’s continued growth is driven by referrals and recommendations.

MOVING THE CHAINS
In sport as in business, success requires determination, teamwork, and a sound strategy. On the corporate gridiron, an expanding bureaucracy, economic challenges, and less-obvious threats like WCB uncertainties stand between you and the goal line.
Blue Collar’s assignment on your team is largely defensive in nature; that is, to protect against bureaucratic blitzes, boost your profits, and give you space to focus on more strategic matters. As a member of your team, BCC plays a specialized but crucial role.
MOUNTING OBLIGATIONS
More than ever, employers are required to accommodate, reinstate, & care for disabled workers. These obligations apply both to physical and mental disablement.
Courts and Commissions have increased the sum of damages awarded to people mentally injured at work by some 900% in recent years. Unfortunately, many employers will remain unaware of these legal requirements until confronted with a WCB claim, lawsuit, or complaint brought against them. BCC helps manage the risks that relate to WCB law.
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
Your experience with WCB depends on the particular case worker assigned to a claim, their interpretation of policy and procedure, respective caseload, experience level, as well as current knowledge of changing legislation.
To control for these variables, we combine knowledge of workers’ comp policy with a creative and diplomatic approach to Board interaction. This collaborative strategy aims for consensus and reduces the role of chance and variability in claim outcomes.
