Why You Need a Work Injury Lawyer
Work Injury claims are complex and confusing. The paperwork is extensive and critical time limits must be met. There are many benefits available through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) that you may not be aware of. You may even have the right to sue your employer and not know it. If your benefits have been denied or terminated you must file a form called an ‘Objection’ and adhere to the applicable time limits in order to not lose your right to appeal. Your Work Injury Lawyer helps you navigate the system, maximize your claims and ensure you receive all the care needed as well as the full compensation you deserve.
What Your Work Injury Lawyer Will Do
Your Toronto car accident lawyer will act swiftly to investigate the details surrounding the accident. This includes reaching out to the investigating police officer and department to gather any additional information that could support your case. Your lawyer will also interview accident witnesses promptly, ensuring their recollections are fresh, and their statements are recorded to prevent any future changes to their accounts.
Additionally, your car accident lawyer will visit the scene of the accident to assess potential factors that may have contributed to the incident. For example, faulty signage, poorly designed intersections, or inadequate road maintenance may have played a role. If such issues are identified, it may be necessary to include other parties in your lawsuit to secure fair compensation.
To further strengthen your case, your lawyer will collaborate with engineers and accident reconstruction experts, ensuring your liability case is thoroughly developed. It is critical to begin building a solid case immediately, especially when addressing the liability aspect of your claim.

As part of the detailed and thorough analysis required in any work injury case, your Work Injury lawyer will review the specifics of your situation and determine whether your claim should proceed within the WSIB system or if you have the right to sue. This decision, known as an election, must be made within strict time limits. Your Work Injury Lawyer will ensure that you make the correct decision and do so within the required timeframe.
Regardless of whether your claim stays within the WSIB system or you choose to elect out, it is essential to conduct a thorough investigation into the facts surrounding your work-related accident. At Himelfarb Proszanski, we promptly engage our network of investigators, engineers, and safety officers to conduct a comprehensive investigation on your behalf. This includes obtaining your employer’s records, reviewing and collecting any security footage that may have captured the incident, identifying witnesses who can support your case, and conducting any necessary on-site investigations and accident reconstructions.
You will also face medical and financial challenges that must be addressed. Himelfarb Proszanski’s personal injury lawyers work with a wide network of medical experts and other professionals to ensure you receive all the benefits you are entitled to and the necessary care to support your recovery.
