Workers’ Compensation

Whether they result in a time-loss incident, higher premium rates, or a complex workers’ compensation claim, workplace injuries can be costly to an organization. The experienced employment lawyers at McLennan Ross have been helping employers skillfully navigate the complicated workers’ compensation system for decades.

Every organization is different.

We want to get to know every client and the details of their organizations so that we can ensure they are protected. We assist small, owner-operator enterprises, mid-size organizations, and large multi-national employers in both the public and private sectors across Western Canada.

Our goal is to make sure our clients satisfy their legal obligations and manage risk, whether an organization employs contractors or subcontractors, or full-time, part-time, or casual workers. We offer practical and cost-effective legal advice and representation to ensure our clients can maintain a healthy and profitable organization, now and in the future.

Helpful advice at any stage.

Our years of experience with the workers’ compensation system allow us to provide advice at any stage of a workers’ compensation claim. We can assist employers initiating reviews of Workers’ Compensation Board decisions, including representing the employer before the Appeals Commission for Workers’ Compensation. Our advice is strategic and forward-looking. We always strive to identify avenues to achieve relief from claim costs or to challenge problematic decisions on a claim.

Our reputation in Employment and Labour Law is based on the strength and experience of our team. Our clients rely on the depth and breadth of experience of lawyers, as well as our strategic use of skilled junior lawyers and paralegals who allow us to be streamlined and cost-sensitive. From our highly experienced lawyers to our skilled support staff, our firm is ready to provide the exceptional service our clients deserve.
