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.)?
