Getting injured at work can be a traumatic experience. You are not just recuperating from your injuries but also the mental trauma of the accident. Those who suffered from these injuries also report feeling depressed because they can’t work and provide for their family anymore.

If your employer has WorkSafeBC, you are entitled to compensation. You can use that money to recover from your injuries. If you have sustained injuries that have left you incapacitated, you can also get long-term benefits.
Make sure you follow the proper way of submitting your claim. Be conscious about the deadlines they have imposed. If you miss these deadlines, you might not be able to submit your claim anymore.

However, negotiating with WorkSafeBC might not be as easy as many claimants think. Keep in mind that they are still a business and their interests lie within them. They might try to low-ball you and get you to agree to a very low offer, which can be unfair given your injuries.

This is why you need injury lawyers in Burnaby. The role of injury lawyers in Burnaby is to make sure that workers have a chance of getting fair compensation. Your injury lawyers will make sure that your case is taken seriously and that they recognize the extent of your injuries, including mental injuries and trauma. That way, you can focus on your recovery rather than being stressed out with your claim.

Make sure you hire experienced injury lawyers such as GKS Law Firm to represent you and negotiate on your behalf.
