OBA Workers' Compensation PROGRAM | Original Program Date: February 23, 2022

It has been almost two years since the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how Ontario’s workers’ compensation system handles and resolves appeals. As attending a hearing remotely remains the predominant option for claimants who seek timely access to have their appeal resolved, advocates have had to pivot their traditional skills of in-person persuasion to the remote setting. Hear key considerations and updates from WSIB and WSIAT adjudicators and representatives, as well as advocates who have successfully conducted such hearings, including: 

• How to manage and present a large claim over teleconference
• How to make a remote hearing run smoothly and what pitfalls to avoid
• Practice tips on how to cross-examine witnesses over video conference

Register now for this dynamic and practical program to get the insights you need to prepare for your next remote hearing!
