Workers Compensation Canada

[Guest guest]

What rights does a person have? Can they just say your claim will

end in 4 weeks without any type of evaluation as to what disabilities

youmight have that you would have to try toovercome to go back to

work? I am told they are to doevaluation this plus offer an

advisor..lawyer which is paid by them..(so he is of no value to a

person trying to be treated fairly) but, I was not told of any of

this in the call to say my claim was coming to an end.. Anyone know

what someone can do??.Is getting a lawyer the only thing to do based

(on a lawyer working oncontingency?) Does anyone know how often a

person appealing Workers Comp actaully wins?

Here in America, i was given no notice that my benefits were ending. I talked to

my caseworker the day before I got the notice in the mail...he said everything

was fine, that I had an injury and it would be taken care of. Then less than 24

hrs later, I got the termination letter in the mail instead of a check. He

refused to accept any of my calls after that.

I got a lawyer and suggest anyone who gets injured on the job, do the same...on

the day you are injured!
