How does the WSCC determine if a claim can be accepted?
To determine if an injury claim can be accepted, the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission (WSCC) needs to confirm:
- The worker is employed by an employer who is registered with the WSCC.
- The worker sustained an injury, and it happened while the worker was employed.
- There is a medical connection between the workers’ injury and their employment.
“Injury” can include physical injuries, psychological injuries, diseases, and death.
