Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba
www.wcb.mb.ca
The workers' compensation system is an accident insurance system for employers and workers, established early in this century to replace the tort system (through the courts) for determining compensation for workplace injuries. Employers, who pay for the system, are not directly liable for the workplace injuries or diseases sustained by their workers. In turn, workers injured in the course of employment are automatically entitled to compensation regardless of fault. However, the workers give up their right of legal action against a potentially negligent employer in return for the certainty of no-fault benefits.
