INDEPENDENT ADVOCACY SERVICES

"Working with the Worker' for the Worker"

 I am an advocate dealing with 40 years’ experience with the Alberta WCB.

Need HELP with your WCB claim and disability?  Need a rep?
I work for YOU - the injured worker.

I advocate with all my empathy and understanding 
permanent work injury claims and appeals 

​I AM NOT ASSOCIATED
WITH ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION INCLUDING; UNIONS AND WCB.

There is no negotiation on your benefits.
If you’re entitled to benefits
then I fight for your benefits.
​
           I have worked on all types of complex injury claims with ​physical, psychological injuries and permanent disabilities and fought for  workers' right to Compensation longer than any other advocate.  
  
The psychological and financial effect on workers and families is devastating. Injured workers' should be compensated. 

So many injured workers' with horror stories and so very few "fakers."
Who would want to deal with WCB and the bureaucracy?

I have attended every WCB Annual meeting since 2008
Contributed to the legislative changes 
Lobby for change in the Canadian and Alberta Government

I UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND THE "THINK TANK"
 

YOUR MEDICAL TREATMENT PROVIDERS ARE MOST IMPORTANT
​IN REPORTING AND ADVOCATING FOR YOU AS WELL.
I CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS PROCESS, TO ENSURE 
​TIMELY AND UNDERSTANDING OF MEDICAL OPINIONS ON YOUR FILE.​

AS AN INJURED WORKER PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR PRIVACY

5 Key Things to Consider When Seeking an Advocate
1. Trust
2. Experience
3. Track record
Knowledge
5. Are they working for you?

 Finding an Advocate: 
You will always be able to find "free chat line"
(Copycat websites)
"Talk for free."  (Talk is cheap).
"Team" to help you.
If they have a "team" put faces on the players. 

Have them put an action plan together for you before you hire them.
Will they follow up the call in an email with recommendations?
​
Ensure you ask an advocate questions and make sure you know that they are independent from the WCB and Appeals Commission 

If an advocate is paid by the government sponsored
by WCB are they truly independent?  

If the WCB, Appeals Commission and Alberta Government 
is giving free advertising for elite advocacy services 
Do you trust them?
                  
Union Representatives
Did you know WCB offers free seminars and training to them 
​ to have the same "think tank" approach to claims management?  

Do you DOUBT the free or paid Advocacy Services
​available to you (union etc.)?

​DO NOT MISS YOUR ONE YEAR TO APPEAL ANY DECISION MADE AT WCB​
​
​There is no other advocate I know with my experience and knowledge of the Alberta Workers Compensation Board and Appeals Commission
.
I have represented injured workers' well over a THOUSAND times at the Appeals Commission tribunal with multiple issues
SUCCESFUL AT GETTING WORKERS MONEY, BENEFITS, MEDICAL TREATMENT, AND VOCATIONAL SERVICES

The WCB offices are in Edmonton and Calgary.
​I advocate for INJURED WORKERS' throughout Canada with Alberta WCB  to achieve resolution and appeals of claims.
