When to Seek Our Help

If you’re an injured worker, you might be unsure about when to seek the help of an experienced representative. The following are examples of situations where our assistance can make a significant difference in your WCB case:

Your claim for compensation was denied.
Your claim was accepted, but the Board is underpaying you.
The Board considers you a temporary worker instead of permanent and docks you.
You have a complex injury, such as mental health issues, spinal or neurological problems, multiple body part injuries, or chronic pain syndrome.
The Board denies a secondary injury related to your initial injury (e.g., bilateral knee problems arise due to compensating with the uninjured leg).
You've had a falling out with your WCB case worker.
A WCB doctor has overruled your doctor based solely on a documentary review.
An Independent Medical Examiner (IME) wrongly determines that your injury is age-related, naturally-occurring, differential, or unrelated to your accident.
You're being pressured to return to work before you're physically or mentally ready.
The modified duties offered by your employer are unsafe or a poor fit.
Your injury was exacerbated by Millard, Lifemark, or CBI during mandatory rehab.
A reemployment specialist has identified an unrealistic job lead for you, and now your benefits are at risk of ending.
The Board refuses to pay for training that would help you recover lost earnings.
Treatment or therapy is denied because the Board deems it “experimental.”
Your benefits are set to expire because you’re approaching retirement age.

Another major challenge for injured workers is the frequent transfer of their files from one case worker to another. This can result in a lack of consistency, continuity, and information flow with each change in case worker. Additionally, decisions made by a previous case worker are often reversed, unilaterally altered, or overruled by their successor, further complicating the situation for the injured worker.
