The Claim Process

It’s important to understand the basics of the WCB claims process. There are generally four types of claims. Of course, while many claims follow a similar process, all workplace injuries are unique.

  1. Injuries resulting in NO Time Loss 
  2. Injuries resulting in Time Loss with Return to Work with NO Permanent Earnings Loss 
  3. Injuries resulting in Time Loss with Return to Work with Partial Earnings Loss 
  4. Injuries resulting in Time Loss with NO Return to Work and FULL Earnings Loss

Step 1: Report an Injury

Step 2: WCB Receives Form(s)

Step 3: Claims Process

Step 4: A Decision is Made
