Critical: Most claims are denied due to missing or improperly submitted documents — not because of the injury itself.

- Worker Claim Form
- Medical Certificate
- Functional Abilities Form (FAF)
- Wage Statement
Insurance & Disability Documents

Best Submission Methods

Don’t Understand the Forms? Use AI to Translate & Explain
Workers’ compensation and insurance forms are often complex — and may be provided only in French or English. If you don’t fully understand a document, do not guess or leave sections incomplete.
- Take a clear photo or scan of the document
- Upload it to an AI tool (such as ChatGPT or Google Gemini)
- Ask the AI to:
- Explain each section in plain language
- Translate the document if needed
- Guide you on how to correctly complete each field
Example Prompt:
“Explain this workers’ compensation form step by step. Tell me what each section means and how I should fill it out correctly.”
Important: AI tools can help you understand forms, but you remain responsible for ensuring the information you submit is accurate. When in doubt, confirm with a legal professional or official worker support service.
Do Not Wait: Strict Legal Deadlines Apply
Memory fades, witnesses disappear, and employer evidence gets erased.
If you wait too long, your case can be legally dismissed — no matter how serious the abuse was.
Start documenting everything immediately. The strongest cases are built in real time, not after termination.
