The lawyers at Gosal & Company concentrate on WorkSafeBC claims (approximately 98% of our files). Mr. Gosal has represented over 4,500 injured workers since 1993. Mr. Gosal has been qualified (and provided oral evidence) as an expert witness regarding Workers' Compensation matters in the British Columbia Supreme Court.
If you need assistance with deciphering WCB terminology, seek legal advice and call Gosal & Company. I was very satisfied with Mr. Gosal's services. He helped me with a very difficult WCB case, and now I am receiving 100% WCB pension and a CPP pension. I have already referred several clients to Mr. Gosal and will continue to do so.

Sarj Gosal is a BC lawyer specializing in WorkSafeBC claims and appeals. Mr. Gosal has successfully represented a large number of disabled workers (over 4,500) and has extensive experience dealing with WorkSafeBC claims and appeals. Mr. Gosal has been qualified (and provided oral evidence) as an expert regarding workers' compensation matters in the British Columbia Supreme Court.
Mr. Gosal has over 28 years of experience in the area of WorkSafeBC ("WCB") claims and appeals. Approximately 98% of the files at our firm are WorkSafeBC-related and, since 1993, Mr. Gosal has represented over 4,500 injured workers. Navigating the WorkSafeBC appeals process can be frustrating, daunting, and often stressful.
The following section will provide you with an overview of the WorkSafeBC claims process. In our experience, WorkSafeBC is a body that, for all intents and purposes, behaves like an insurance company.
After over 28 years of handling WorkSafeBC claims, Mr. Gosal has found that WorkSafeBC's goal is to minimize the number of claims accepted, minimize the nature and extent of claims accepted, and minimize the duration and amount of compensation entitlement.Most people retain our services when they feel that they can no longer deal with the complexities of the appeal system and/or demands made by WorkSafeBC staff.

Our client was a bindery worker who developed chronic contact dermatitis due to a reaction to chemicals in the printing industry. The Board initially determined that she was entitled to a permanent partial disability award equal to only 5% of total disability.
The Board also denied her entitlement to a loss of earnings award, as it determined that she would be able to adapt to the occupations of a general office clerk, bookkeeper, accounting clerk, inventory clerk, and data entry clerk.

The first step in each WCB claim is for the Board to determine which conditions have been accepted. You may have suffered multiple injuries, some more serious than others. You may have developed an occupational disease instead of an injury. Some workers are unable to pinpoint a specific workplace accident, but develop health problems over time.

If you are reading reviews for wcb lawyers you need help. You are certainly in the right place to find it. Work safe is unlike anything I have ever experienced. There is no way I could have navigated the hoops you have to jump through and it’s all time sensitive of course. I am so thankful for Gosal and company’s help. They know all the ins and outs and can help prepare you for what’s coming. I always felt confident in and comfortable with the lawyers. No question was too foolish to ask. The office staff are truly kind, as well as knowledgeable. There was more than one occasion that they

If you are hurt at work WCB is an awful organization to try and get help from. Long gone are the days when they were an advocate for workers, now they are an insurance company for the employer. The system is so difficult to navigate when you are in pain and not sure what to do. GOOD NEWS! Gosal and Company will help you. They understand everything about the process, the obstacles wcb will put in your way, and most importantly they understand how it impacts the worker. They were more than supportive to me when I did not understand how they could disregard the doctors reports(and there were numerous

Sarj and his team worked hard to get my dad the compensation he deserves. Wcb is confusing and just wants you to go away and Gosal and Company made sure that our voices were heard. My dad is now getting a higher pension than he was before and it’s all thanks to Gosal and Company. Thank you! We appreciate all your hard work and everything you do for injured workers!!

Dealing with lawyers is always stressful, in my opinion especially when english is not a first language. They took me seriously and won my case faster than expected! The only thing deceptive is that I felt kept out of the loop, not understanding the legal jargon sometimes. However, I should of trust that they know what they are doing. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and would recommend them for Worksafe cases. Thank you so much for relieving me from all that unhealthy stress!

Hello; I would like to briefly share my experiences with Gosal and Company with regard to my recent dealings with Worksafe BC. Approximately two and one half years ago I was injured in northern British Columbia in the oilpatch. While my injury was by no means life threatening it certainly was serious enough to be life altering. Gosal and Company was recommended to me and I got in contact with them near the very beginning of the whole process with Worksafe. These folks were very knowledgeable, respectful, and very helpful. From beginning to end they guided me through the process and I believe that

This is a bit of a long story but worth your time.
I was working for a local delivery company under contract when I fell and suffered a concussion. I was taken to VCH emergency and diagnosed with a concussion. WCB excepted my claim. I went to HIATS downtown for 6 weeks then extended for a extra 2 weeks near the end of the process. I was still not feeling well but was pushed by WCB and my company to return to work. (Under the contract i only had 6 months off for medical reason after which I would loss my position) At this time I was off for about 6 months. I did try to do the gradual return to

Contacted them from web form - reply was quick. First email response was tp contact office for 30m free consultation.
When contacted - Lady on phone talked about 1500 CAD retainer fee and 300 CAD per hour charges for "whatever" time they will spend on my file.
NO free consultation - right from beginning it was money and confusion.
I wrote back with request to clarify how many hrs , how much approx expenditure of hours in a month ?
A patient on work loss compensation have to be worried and concerned about financial factor.
Got a reply - that they can not tell how many hours bill I will be billed

Mr. Gosal and his staff were extremely professional in dealing with my very complex case. They made me feel very important and always listened to my every needs. I was always comfortable with everyone in the office and I don’t think I could have had a better outcome. Thank you so much.
