Workers’ Compensation ClaimsGetting it right from the start of the process is critical to a successful and prompt resolution.

Who can claim?

If you are injured at work or travelling to or from work, you may qualify for Workers’ Compensation benefits. The injury must be a direct result of your employment, or happen in the course of your employment. In some cases, if you are a subcontractor or other "deemed" worker, you may also be eligible for a compensation claim.

If you are unsure of whether you can claim, Brydens is here to help, and our experienced workers compensation lawyers will be happy to advise on your situation.

What can be claimed?

If you are eligible to make a compensation claim, benefits may include:

• Your reasonable medical expenses.
• Payment of weekly compensation if you cannot work.
• Lump sum benefits if you have a permanent impairment.
• An additional lump sum payment for pain and suffering if your impairment is
  more than 10%.

How do I claim?

When claiming for Workers’ Compensation benefits, both you and your employer have certain responsibilities. For example, for Workers’ Compensation claims, time frames are important and you must notify your insurer as soon as possible.

What’s more, we will not charge you any fees in the prosecution of your Workers Compensation claim.
