My parents have limited English and they both had work injuries within a few years of each other and
could not return to any type of work. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) said my dad
could return to light work and cut his benefits and WSIB denied entitlement for my mom’s injury and this created a serious financial problem. I helped my parents find about 5 other lawyers to help and paid them up front, but my parents received nothing and were told they couldn’t win. A personal injury lawyer in Toronto told me they don’t take WSIB cases and recommended Robert Govaert, a paralegal

Robert Govaert gave me the hope to proceed with a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) appeal, when I had given up and thought no one could help me. Mr. Govaert helped me win back over 4 years of work injury benefits, ongoing benefits, and coverage for my medications. I am really happy I found the right person to help me out and get my life back on track.

I was totally disabled following my work related motor vehicle accident (MVA), and I was allowed Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits and long term disability benefits, but the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) determined I was fit to return to work and closed my file. I was unsuccessful with my appeals with a WSIB lawyer and a paralegal for over 5 years, until another injured worker recommended Robert Govaert from Workers Compensation Advocate in Toronto. Robert Govaert took my WSIB case and helped prove that I was not fit to return to work after my work related MVA injury and

My WSB benefits were cut off in 1996. I went to two different lawyers to ask for help, but I was told both times that I didn't have a chance to get anything. I am happy you decided to take my case, because with your help I received back all my WSB retroactive benefits from 1996 and additional supplementary benefits for life. Robert Govaert is the best and I highly recommend his paralegal services.

When I first met Robert Govaert, I believed in my heart that he was the person to help me and he gave me hope not to give up. Robert's knowledge and experience helped prove that I was not fit to return to work and won my case at the Tribunal. If you are an injured worker, don't waste time and find a way to call Robert Govaert to help you.

I was very pleased with the way Robert Govaert handled my Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability case. Robert was very professional throughout the appeal process and he kept me informed with every step he took in my case. I am very happy with Robert Govaert and I would recommend him to all my family and friends and anyone who needs help.
