Problems with WorkSafeBC ? : 6 Steps to Appeal a Workers’ Compensation Decision

Rhonda works for a medical supplies company. One day she is carrying a tray of materials to her workstation when she slips on some water a co-worker had spilled on the floor. She falls hard on her back and is in immediate pain. Her WorkSafeBC claim is initially accepted, but after weeks of therapy she’s still in chronic pain. One day WorkSafeBC requests a medical examination by one of their staff physicians. Two weeks later, Rhonda gets a letter stating that there are “no objective medical findings” and that her WorkSafeBC benefits are being discontinued.
