WSIB Cost Relief and Secondary Injury Fund (SIEF) Applications for Employers

WSIB Cost Relief

We help employers pursue WSIB cost relief, including Secondary Injury and Enhancement Fund (SIEF) applications. Our team reviews medical evidence, prepares submissions, and challenges cost assignments to reduce premiums, shift liability, and protect your business’s financial position.

The Problem: Rising Costs from WSIB Claims

Even when an injury claim is legitimate, the costs assigned to an employer can be unfairly high. Employers often find themselves paying for conditions that pre-existed the workplace injury or for complications outside their control. Without cost relief, premiums climb, squeezing margins and creating long-term financial strain.

Unfortunately, the rules around cost relief and SIEF applications are complex. Many employers miss opportunities to recover or reduce costs simply because they don’t know the relief is available — or how to present a successful application to the WSIB.

How We Help Employers Secure Cost Relief

Our WSIB lawyers have the experience to identify cost relief opportunities and advocate on your behalf. We prepare persuasive applications and submissions, supported by medical and factual evidence, to shift inappropriate costs away from your account.

We assist by:

• Reviewing claim files to identify cost relief opportunities.
• Preparing and submitting SIEF applications based on pre-existing conditions.
• Challenging improper cost assignments or cost transfers.
• Gathering and analyzing medical documentation to strengthen claims.
• Advising on appeal strategies if cost relief is denied.

By reducing the claim costs attributed to your business, we help control WSIB premiums and protect your financial stability.
