Your Legal Roadmap to WSIB: Get the Benefits You Deserve

What Is WSIB?

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is an Ontario government agency that provides no-fault insurance for workers who are injured on the job or suffer from work-related illnesses. It also protects employers from being sued by employees for workplace injuries.

WSIB handles claims for:

• Lost wages due to time off work

• Medical and rehabilitation expenses

• Return-to-work planning

• Permanent impairments or disabilities

• Survivor benefits in fatal cases

Common Challenges with WSIB Claims

Filing a WSIB claim may seem straightforward, but many injured workers face roadblocks, including:

• Denied claims due to missing documentation or employer disputes

• Delayed benefits and uncertainty about eligibility

• Complicated appeals that require legal knowledge and procedural expertise

• Return-to-work conflicts that create tension between workers and employers

Even employers can face challenges when dealing with WSIB audits, penalties, or disputes about work-related injuries.
