WCAT No. A1604204

Chris represented the developer of a large construction project in Abbotsford that was fined almost $60,000 in two separate penalty orders for alleged safety contraventions on site. After an initial review, the Review Division doubled the second penalty, increasing the total fine to $90,000. We appealed to WCAT and it was determined the Review Division’s reasoning was flawed. As a result, the second penalty was cancelled altogether and the fine reduced to less than $30,000.

Our client was a health care worker who injured her shoulder at work. The Board denied her compensation and claimed her injury was pre-existing. We retained a shoulder expert and successfully appealed to WCAT, resulting in the injury being accepted. The Board then tried to limit compensation for the accepted injury. We appealed to WCAT again and the client received fair compensation, including retroactive benefits of over $30,000.

Chris’ client was a long-haul truck driver who suffered a serious knee injury. During the course of treatment, the client suffered a new tear in his knee which the Board refused to recognize. After our successful appeal to WCAT, the client received a retroactive payment of $107,000 and his entitlement to ongoing benefits and retraining was restored.
