WSIB is a workplace injury system set up by the provincial government to handle all workplace injury payments instead of having injured workers sue privately. Because workplace injuries are so common in Ontario, the government decided there should be a system for resolving these injuries rather than relying on lawsuits.
The WSIB system is not a formal court system. It is an administrative body presided over by quasi-judges who are government employees appointed by the provincial government.
Since it is not a formal court process it can be handled by a paralegal.
