Report explores hundreds of Workplace Safety and Insurance Board cases that ignore evidence

Information from IAVGO Community Legal Clinic: The WSIB claims that drastic reductions in benefits costs are the result of improved “return to work and recovery” programs. The 2016 decisions of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal tell a different and troubling story. Appeals Tribunal decision-makers have commented that the WSIB’s decisions are “unreasonable” in ignoring the “unanimous opinions” of doctors, are based on “not a single word of medical or other reliable evidence”, and would place the worker at “medical risk”.
