Comprehensive Policy/Legislation Review

The WSIB develops and creates operational policies in accordance with the Workplace Safety & Insurance Act (WSIA) and its various regulations. These policies guide WSIB decision-makers in determining entitlement to benefits and/or services for injured workers and to the survivors of deceased workers, These policies also provide specific information about workers’ and employers’ rights and obligations, employers’ premiums and other workplace safety & insurance matters.

Ms. Mitoma understands the intent and meaning behind WSIB policies and has a clear understanding of how they are to be interpreted and applied correctly to your case. Ms. Mitoma has an excellent understanding of the WSIA and its regulations and is able to interpret general provisions especially where the WSIA may be silent on such matters.

Comprehensive Case Management Review

Each case is unique and is, therefore, adjudicated based on its own individual merits. There are many components to a case and all are of equal importance and a critical/integral part in completing the whole picture, which is your story. Your story is comprised of the accident history, reporting details, medical/clinical advice and recommended treatment plans, return to work assessments and loss of earnings benefits.

Ms. Mitoma understands all of these components and will identify if there is an entitlement component that should be addressed such as a Non-Economic Loss Benefit, Permanent Disability Award, Survivors’ Benefits, Loss of Retirement Income, Independent Living Allowance, Personal Care Allowances, Home Modifications etc.
