The Claim Process
Once you have reported your injury or illness, a WCB-Alberta adjudicator will review your claim. Your adjudicator will determine if your claim meets legislation and policy requirements. He or she will contact you, your doctor or your employer if more information is required to reach a decision. Once your claim is accepted, your adjudicator will discuss with you what benefits and services will help you return to work. A claim requires ongoing communication and updated medical information. Your adjudicator may transfer your claim to a case manager who will work with you and your employer to determine the best return-to-work options available to you.
