Advocacy for Injured Workers-Workers Compensation Expert-Gail Cumming
ADVOCACY INTRODUCTION
I have over 40 years’ experience with the Alberta Workers Compensation system.
For over 20 years of my career I worked at the WCB in varies positions including Claims Management, Employer Services and at the Appeals Commission.
During those important years legislation, policy, technology and culture changed the compensation system prilimanary purpose to save claims costs.
The WCB still struggles with their own management of their compensation system years later. This is hard to beleive and it is even harder to obtain compensation
for injured workers.
WCB is an administrator of Workers Compensation Board Act on a neutral un-bias basis. Tthe Boards staff are required to compensate injured workers according
to the legislation.
Any concerns you may have regarding your entitlement to compensation can be reviewed within one year from the decision.
Most people have noticed that my website changed.
My Current Status:
Recently,I have had to take time to management my own health.
This time for reflection has only gave me the desire to achieve changes in the compensation
system that will better serve all workers.
Road to recovery has been positive and we never know until the time comes how resilient the
human race is created and what we can achieve.
I believe any struggle can make or break us, and I have been given the opportunity to work
with the most amazing injured workers most of my life that have taught me this lesson.
