| Summaries of WSIAT Decisions Involving
OWA |
| Since its inception in 1985, the
Office of the Worker Adviser (OWA) has been involved in thousands
of appeals on behalf of injured workers. The following selection includes
some of the more important Decision Summaries organized alphabetically
by the key issue under appeal. |
| Please note that a worker's "date
of injury" and subsequent changes to the Workplace Safety
and Insurance Act, 1997, the regulations and WSIB policies, determine
whether a particular decision can be applied as precedent. If you
need more help, contact a qualified representative. |
