Confused injured at work wsib wont help

I'm asking this question on behalf of my daughter, she started working for a new hotel on November 1 2006 and on November 17 she had an accident at work where one of the windows(approx 40 lbs) fell out and landed ontop of her shoulder she filled out an accident report with her superviser(who said they would send it to WSIB) and they gave her papers to take to the hospital, she went to the hospital the next day and was told she had mucles damage.She had to quit her job a couple weeks later due to the pain (and emails she was getting from the boss).Now to make a long story short the family doctor has told us she has torn mucles and the mucles have shrunk and needs physiotheropy and it will take up six months to heal but we have been told that the hotel (Future Inns Cambridge)was not registered with WSIB at the time of the accident and they told her doctor that they will not pay for it.
Could you please tell us what her options are as we cannot affored to pay for physiotheropy?
Thank you

Default Re: injured at work wsib wont help

It is certainly possible you have a case based on what you say here; you should take a brief description of these events as well as your medical records to an injury attorney and see if the attorney thinks you have a claim; often you need to contact several attorneys to find one to take the case; the review of your case and records is often free and then they will normally take the case on a contingency fee basis if they think you can win; you would pay only if they collect for you...
