Understanding Workplace Injury Claims in Ontario
If you are injured at work in Ontario, you may be entitled to benefits through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). The WSIB system is designed to provide support to injured workers, including:
-
Coverage for medical expenses and rehabilitation
-
Wage-loss benefits while you cannot work
-
Return-to-work programs
-
Compensation for permanent injuries
Employers also have obligations under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 to ensure proper reporting, compliance, and support for injured employees.
