At Worker First Advocates, we understand how important proper medical support is for your recovery. That’s why, when needed, we can help arrange truly independent medical examinations, functional evaluations, and even home or personal care assessments. These steps can make a big difference in ensuring your compensation is fair and reflects your real needs.
We also work directly with your healthcare providers so nothing gets missed and you receive the best possible outcome for your situation.
Dealing with WCB can feel confusing and exhausting—especially when all you want is to heal and move forward with your life. That’s where we step in. We handle the paperwork, deadlines, and conversations with WCB, so you can focus on yourself and your family.

This could mean working with WCB-Alberta’s Customer Service Department or representing you at the Dispute Resolution and Decision Review Body. If needed, we’ll also take your case to the Appeals Commission for Alberta Workers’ Compensation.
