Did you know that 173,538 persons reported WCB injuries in BC in 2007?  Are you one of those people who then had a WorkSafeBC claim?

Worse yet, are you an injured worker whose claim was denied by WCB (WorkSafeBC)?

When you received your WCB in BC denial letter you were probably outraged and confused.  Outraged because you’re entitled to compensation.  Confused because you did what you were supposed to do: You submitted your claim form, saw your doctor, and told WorkSafeBC the name of your doctor.  Maybe you even did more than that to see to it that your claim would be accepted.

Every WCB case in BC is different.

The key to successfully appealing a WCB claim denial is to give WorkSafeBC lots of good evidence of your injury and how it happened at work.

Strong facts – along with support from your doctor – greatly improve your chances for a successful WCB appeal.

Getting hurt on the job is tough and painful.  To then have your WCB claim denied puts you into a tough financial situation.  Because of this you may not get the treatment you need to get better.  This may seem unfair and can put incredible hardship on you and your family.  That’s why it’s important that you don’t give up just because you’ve been denied.  The WCB process offers 2 levels of appeals – use them.

We can help you with your WorkSafeBC matter.

This is where the WCB lawyers at Dykstra & Company can help you.  We are personal injury lawyers who do WCB appeals.  We know how and where to get the facts and how to present them persuasively to WorkSafeBC.

There are two appeal levels when your BC work injury claim is denied.  The first appeal goes to a Review Board within WorkSafeBC.  If your claim is still denied, you can appeal to the Workers Compensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT).  The WCAT is an organization separate from WorkSafeBC.

Not only do you have two appeal opportunities, but in some circumstances you can have your appeal to the WCAT (2nd appeal) be heard like a trial.  This means you can bring witnesses and tell the WCAT yourself all about your workplace injury.

Filing your WCB appeal is done by filing written submissions to first the Review Board at WorkSafeBC.  If your claim is denied, written submissions are then filed to the WCAT.

Dykstra & Company has written many WorkSafeBC appeal submissions and conducted WCAT hearing for clients since the law firm started more than 25 years ago.  We will speak with you at length about your job, how you got hurt, and to other people who can help you by telling us what they know.  These other people could be family members and co-workers.  The more information about your injury and workplace that supports your workplace injury, the better chance you have in successfully appealing your WCB claim.
