Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)

Protecting Workers Rights Across Ontario

A workplace injury can disrupt your health, your income, and your future. Navigating the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) system on your own can feel overwhelming — especially when you are dealing with pain, medical treatment, or pressure from your employer.

At Provenance Law, our WSIB lawyers represent injured workers across Ontario, ensuring they receive the medical benefits, income support, and fair treatment they are entitled to. From initial claims to complex appeals, we provide hands-on guidance at every stage of the WSIB process.

We assist clients throughout London, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, and all surrounding regions.

Our Expertise in WSIB Claims & Appeals

Initial WSIB Claims

Many claims fail simply because forms were incomplete or supporting evidence was not provided.
We help you:

  • File a complete, accurate, and well-supported WSIB claim

  • Gather medical documentation and workplace incident details

  • Communicate with WSIB and ensure your rights are protected

A strong claim from the beginning significantly reduces the risk of delays or denials.

 

WSIB Denials, Reconsiderations & Appeals

If WSIB denies or limits your entitlement, you still have multiple options.

We assist with:

  • Written reconsideration requests

  • Appeals before the WSIB Appeals Services Division

  • Benefit entitlement disputes (LOE, NEL, health care)

  • Recurrence or worsening-condition appeals

We ensure your evidence is properly presented and your arguments strongly supported.

 

WSIAT (Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal) Appeals

When WSIB and the Appeals Services Division uphold an unfair decision, the case can be taken to WSIAT.

Our lawyers represent clients in:

  • Oral hearings

  • Written hearings

  • Tribunal evidence preparation

  • Complex medical or vocational disputes

WSIAT is the final appeal level — and strong representation is essential.

 

Return-to-Work (RTW) & Accommodation Issues

Employers often pressure workers to return before they are medically ready.

We advocate when:

  • Modified duties are unsafe

  • Employers ignore medical restrictions

  • You are threatened with termination or discipline

  • There is conflict between WSIB, your doctor, and your employer

Every worker has the right to safe, medically appropriate accommodation.

 

Loss of Earnings (LOE) & Non-Economic Loss (NEL) Benefits

We help injured workers secure:

  • Income replacement benefits

  • Permanent impairment awards

  • Health-care and treatment coverage

  • Return-to-work support programs

If benefits were underpaid, reduced, or cut off entirely, we challenge those decisions.
