The WCB reviews claims on a case by case basis to determine whether the reported injuries are covered. Benefits cannot be paid if the injury is not work related. There are health problems you may have that are not related to your work. Diabetes, arthritis, old sports injuries and spinal scoliosis are some examples of these conditions. Traveling to and from work - Generally, if you are in an accident while traveling on your regular trip to and from work, workers' compensation does not cover you.
Some exceptions apply.
The WCB reviews each case individually. Workers are eligible for benefits for work-related injuries regardless of who is at fault. Workers' compensation is no-fault guaranteed insurance. However, if your injury is caused by acting with serious and willful misconduct, you may not be eligible for benefits. All rights reserved.
