Employer Representation at WSIB and WSIAT Appeals – Protecting Your Business Interests

WSIB and WSIAT Appeals

We represent employers in appeals before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT). From written objections to full hearings, we defend employer rights, challenge costly decisions, and work to reduce liability exposure.

The Problem: Unfair or Costly WSIB Decisions

Not every WSIB decision is correct — and for employers, a single adverse ruling can mean higher premiums, new obligations, or ongoing liability. Employers often feel outmatched navigating appeal procedures, strict deadlines, and the formalities of tribunal hearings.

Even when the WSIB sides with an employer, workers may launch their own appeals, forcing businesses into costly disputes. The complexity of WSIB’s Appeals Services Division and the independent WSIAT system can be overwhelming, particularly without experienced legal representation

How We Help Employers in Appeals

Our WSIB team ensures that every Form 7 is filed accurately, on time, and Our WSIB team has decades of experience defending employers at both the WSIB Appeals Services Division and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT). We provide clear guidance at every stage — from the first written objection to oral hearings.

We assist by:

  • Preparing and filing timely objections to protect appeal rights.
  • Drafting comprehensive written submissions with supporting evidence.
  • Representing employers at oral hearings before the WSIB and WSIAT.
  • Challenging entitlement decisions, benefit awards, and cost transfers.
  • Advising on strategy to minimize liability and control long-term costs.

Our goal is not just to win appeals, but to safeguard your business against unnecessary financial and operational burdens.
