Calgary Workers' Compensation Lawyers

Calgary workers' compensation lawyers are the men and women lawyers of Calgary that handle workers' compensation cases for people that live in the Calgary area, or where the employment injury happened in the Calgary area but the injured person lives elsewhere.

Workers' compensation is also sometimes known as "workers comp", "workman's comp" or "workmen's compensation".  In Alberta the governing legislation is the Workers Compensation Act of Alberta.  The 150+ sections of this legislation can  be viewed at the Queen's Printer website. There are also workers compensation regulations that are important.  The whole program is run by the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) of Alberta. 

Workers' compensation is a system that provides compensation for employees who are injured in the course of employment.  In exchange, the employee relinquishes the right to sue his or her employer for negligence.

Workers' compensation is a form of insurance.  The employer is required by law to carry this insurance and the insurance pays out to the employee (or their survivors i.e. family) in the event the employee is injured on the job or, in some cases, becomes ill due to circumstances surrounding their job.  This insurance generally covers the employee upon the employee becoming disabled, either temporarily or permanently, or if the employee dies.  The injury or illness must be an on the job injury or illness. 

Not every case requires an injured person to have a workers' compensation lawyer on an on-going basis – but some do.

The Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) of Alberta is a not-for-profit corporation legislated to administer the workers compensation system for the province. Through the payment of premiums, employers fund this no-fault system that provides compensation for workplace injuries and occupational diseases to workers.

In Alberta, the majority of employers are required by law to have workers' compensation insurance for all of their workers, and must notify the WCB within 15 days of hiring their first worker. This includes full-time, part-time, temporary and casual staff, as well as family members providing a service for your business.

In the event of a work-related injury the WCB will cover medical expenses, provide wage replacement and in some cases may cover rehabilitation services. The whole workers compensation act insurance or compensation scheme includes medical treatments and indeed this is a major component of the whole system.

Workers' compensation lawyers may be lawyers who work exclusively in workers compensation cases although more commonly they also work in other fields – primarily that of personal injury law.

It is important in considering your Calgary workers compensation lawyer that you select one that is practical, experienced and knowledgeable of exactly how things work in Calgary. They should have an office in Calgary which is staffed full time and have been there for some years.
