Need a lawyer for your WCAT oral hearing?
In most cases when appealing your BC WCB case to the WCAT you want to request an oral hearing.
What’s an oral hearing at the WCAT?
It’s basically a trial that is held at the WCAT. It’s more informal, but essentially it’s a trial where you present your case.
A WCAT oral hearing is a terrific opportunity to present your case thoroughly and with impact. Live testimony can be more effective than written submissions. That said, just because you request an oral hearing at the WCAT for your WCAT appeal doesn’t mean you get one automatically. You need to ask and be granted it.
Supposing you were granted a WCAT oral hearing, now you need to prepare and figure out how to present your case at the oral hearing. Fortunately it’s fairly informal, but that doesn’t mean you want to do haphazardly.
A WCAT oral hearing appeal is a very good opportunity to win your case. You can bring witnesses, and present lots of evidence that present much more persuasively live than in a file.
