Medical Examinations For WCB Claims

Workplace injuries can occur when an injury arises from a one-time accident, or as a result of repeated strain. When a worker is injured on the job, they may be eligible for worker’s compensation. Connecting with a medical professional, such as your family doctor, is an important part of this process.

When a patient connects with their doctor regarding a WCB claim, their doctor is required by law to report the injury to WCB within 48 hours. Additionally, your family doctor will fill out forms to provide the employer or the WCB with information necessary to evaluate the patient’s WCB claim.

These documents will provide information about:

• employee absence from work for a medical reason
• employee ability to work after an accident or injury
