WCB Claims
The Workers’ Compensation Board of British Columbia is a complex and intricate regime that prohibits an injured worker from suing an employer or another employee for injuries suffered in the workplace.
If a worker is injured during the normal course of employment through the negligence of an individual not covered under the Act (an employer or employee operating in the normal course of business), then the worker can choose between collecting what is available under the Act or proceeding civilly.
Our office routinely represents clients in this situation and can advise as to which avenue a client should elect. In many cases when it comes to WCB claims it is most appropriate to choose to proceed civilly if the opportunity exists, as under WCB there is no compensation for non-pecuniary damages (i.e. pain and suffering).
