Avoid These 3 WorkSafeBC Claim Mistakes

Top 3 Mistakes That Can Ruin Your WorkSafeBC Claim

If you have been injured at work, what you do next can impact whether you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
As a work injury lawyer for almost 20 years and founder of GKS Law Firm, I have seen the same critical mistakes being made over and over.

Here are 3 Mistakes that could put your claim at risk:

1. Delaying reporting your injury.
   If you do not notify your employer and file your claim promptly, WorkSafeBC may question whether your injury happened at work.
   Report it right away, document everything, and follow up.
2. Do not rely on WorkSafeBC’s doctors alone.
   Their assessments may not fully capture the impact of your injury.
   Remember to continue to see your own doctor as well, because an independent medical opinion can be crucial in strengthening your claim.
3. Many workers believe that if WorkSafeBC denies their claim, that is the final decision.
   It is not. You have the right to appeal, and with the right legal strategy, your denial could be overturned.
   Do not give up without reviewing your options.
