WCB Claims Management
A mismanaged WCB claim costs more than the claim itself — in premium impact, in lost time, and in staff hours spent chasing paperwork. LifeVits provides WCB claims management for Alberta contractors and industrial operators as part of a fractional safety retainer, or on a standalone basis.
WCB claims & return-to-work management
WCB Alberta allows employers to formally authorize an outside representative to manage claims and account matters. LifeVits handles the process end-to-end — from initial incident reporting through return-to-work coordination — so claims move faster and your team isn't left guessing what WCB needs next.
What's included
- Claim reporting and initial documentation
- Ongoing communication and correspondence with WCB
- Modified and light-duty work coordination
- Return-to-work planning and tracking
- Incident investigation tied to the claim
- Documentation organized for account review or cost-relief consideration where applicable
Why smaller contractors struggle with this specifically
Most small and mid-size contractors don't have anyone whose job is specifically to manage WCB files — it usually falls to an office manager or the owner, on top of everything else they're already doing. A missed deadline or an incomplete response can extend a claim, or affect your WCB experience rating and future premiums. Having this handled consistently, by someone who does it regularly, is usually worth far more than the retainer cost.
