Work Related Accidents

Workplace Safety and Insurance Board

Accidents at work are governed by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. The following information was obtained from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. For more information, please visit their website at: http://www.wsib.on.ca.

No-fault collective liability

In exchange for giving up the right to sue for their work-related injuries workers receive guaranteed compensation for accepted claims. Employers, for their part, receive protection from lawsuits in exchange for financing the program through premiums. This system of collective liability provides fair compensation for injured workers and their families, while spreading individual costs among employers.
