Do you entirely understand the description of both your monthly cost statements and your annual notice of assessment? Is your company aware of how this translates into dollars and cents spent by your organization?

The cornerstone of achieving ‘success’ with respect to WSIB lies in successful case or claims management so as to avoid the “appeal procedure” as a last resort in resolving a dispute. Our specialists in depth knowledge of the claims adjudication process has equipped us with the expertise in developing protocol designed for successfully managing each claim from beginning to end.

A “protocol system” when in place, would include both the organization and ongoing monitoring of a WSIB claim file paying particular attention to the following:

• Independent Operator vs. Contractor (http://www.wsib.on.ca)
• Timely accident reporting
• Ongoing contact with health care practitioners involved in the case
• Ensuring immediate medical attention is achieved
• Accident Investigations where appropriate
• Employee reporting procedures
• Ongoing contact with the WSIB decision maker
• Modified Return To Work Programs

Without these protocols in place, valuable time and increasing compensation costs will be incurred by you, the employer attempting to bring organization to a file several months or even years after the occurrence of a work related accident.
