Employers play a crucial role in the workers’ compensation statutory claim process. While they do not have authority to approve or reject claims, their input can help the insurer make the ‘right’ decision.

In this presentation, Chris Murphy and Jermia Burton will provide employers with ‘back to basics’ wisdom about what constitutes an ‘injury’ and what does not, helping you provide the insurer with the right evidence. We will cover:

• the definition of an ‘injury’ under section 32 of the WCRA
• how to assess whether an injury ‘arose out of the course of employment’
• how to determine whether employment was a ‘significant’ contributing factor to the injury
• situations where employment is merely the ‘scene’ of the injury
• recent judgements on the interpretation of a ‘significant’ contributing factor
• effective strategies for gathering evidence to support claim decisions.

We look forward to your joining the discussion.
