Chris acted for the widow of a groundskeeper at a remote lodge in Maple Ridge. He had suffered a heart attack while at work and WorkSafeBC denied our client a survivor’s pension on the grounds that the injury did not occur in the course of the worker’s employment. We engaged a leading cardiologist to analyze the data and presented his report to WCAT on appeal. The Tribunal allowed the appeal and accepted our arguments that the combination of the strenuous nature of the employment and the remote location of the lodge (causing a delayed response time for emergency services) made the injury compensable. Our client received a retroactive pension award of $25,000 and an ongoing pension payable for the rest of her life.
