WSIB's 'devastating' compensation policy all about board's bottom line, lawyers charge


Toronto lawyer Richard Fink launched a multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit in 2014 against WSIB on behalf of injured workers who had their benefits cut due to pre-existing conditions.

An Ontario judge dismissed the case in July 2015, but Fink appealed. The case was heard Sept. 16 and he and his clients await the decision.

    Thank You Mr. Fink!

    It's been more than the bottom line WSIB and WCB have been focused on.
    what about their Bonuses to keep claims down?

    There have been many Injured Workers Abused by the WCB and WSIB across Canada.

    There are many Groups looking for Justice.

    I want to ask has this been decided yet? I have been checking regularly since it went to deliberation - is there a different link that would better help me see it quickly. Also I want to say that I too have had years of appeals and problems with WSIB and what I have come to realize is regular people not yet injured and requiring WSIB entitlement for injuries sustained at work have no idea that so many injustices are suffered by claimants that need and are rightfully entitled to the benefits expected to be there for them in the event of a WSIB claim.
