Helping Injured Workers

When you've been injured on the job, you need fast, fair, and effective evaluation of your rights and entitlements. Knowing that experienced, knowledgeable compensation experts are looking out for your best interests gives you the peace of mind you need to focus on a healthy recovery and effective ongoing management of your injury.

Our workers' compensation consultant can quickly review entitlement decisions to ensure that all areas of the injury have been covered - at fees that are much lower than traditional legal costs. We can gauge your entitlement to:

• Loss-of-earning awards
• Supplementary benefits
• Health-care products and services
• Travel expenses
• Permanent impairment awards
• Labour market re-entry assistance

Our workers' compensation consultant will review the calculation of workers benefits to ensure that they are being paid correctly, and will make sure that the injured party fully understands his or her entitlement to medical and labour market re-entry services like physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, and retraining - so that appropriate treatment is authorized and paid for. We can also provide you with representation at all levels of appeal.

Nelligan O'Brien Payne's team features experts who, working with medical professionals, can determine the likelihood that an injury is permanent or likely to improve, so that a referral for non-economic loss assessment is made as soon as possible. We'll also review the injured person's fitness to work, to ensure that a return to regular or modified work is made at the appropriate time and that re-injury doesn't occur once a person returns to work.

               "I wanted to let you know that I am more than 100 percent
                satisfied with the workers' compensation work that Peggy
                King has done for me. As soon as I met with Peggy, things
                started happening quickly! Her experience was able to determine
                the best course of action for my claim, and obtain a result in my
                favour... I appreciate the excellent job that Peggy King and Nelligan
               O'Brien Payne have done in settling everything for me!"
