Re: lost of time
Your boss can make this argument but is not entirely correct. Many employees choose to take care of their workers compensation claims without the advice of a lawyer. This is a mistake. The many mazes one must go through just to get the basic benefits is frustrating.

Re: lost of time
Your boss is partially right. First you they use up vacation/ sick time then they put you on compensation. You can get back the lost time at a hearing. However, you need to have your employer's C-11 and figure out their C-240 form in order to get the correct amount of lost time. You should also be cognizant of any lump sum awards that you may be entitled to. If you would like an attorney to handle your case please contact me and we can discuss.
