Workplace injuries can occur because of a single accident or as a result of repetitive strain. A worker who sustains an injury at work may be entitled to worker’s compensation. A crucial step in this process is setting up an appointment with the family doctor.
Your family doctor will also complete paperwork to provide to your employer and WCB with the information required to assess the patient’s WCB claim.
These documents will contain details regarding:
- Employee absence from work due to accident or Injury.
- Ability of an employee to work following an accident or injury.
