Access to workers’ compensation shouldn’t feel like a privilege—it should be a guarantee. Yet, for many injured workers, navigating the system remains overwhelming, slow, and confusing. Delays in medical evaluations, unclear legal procedures, and inconsistent communication all contribute to a system that too often leaves people behind.

Identifying the Obstacles

One of the biggest challenges injured workers face is a lack of information. Without guidance, it’s easy to get lost in paperwork, miss critical deadlines, or struggle to secure qualified medical evaluations. These issues disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, especially those with limited language access or legal support.

Building Bridges, Not Barriers

Dr. Stephen Stepaniuk believed that everyone deserves fair treatment, no matter their background or resources. That vision inspired efforts to simplify claim processing, promote transparency, and expand outreach through technology and education.

Tools like JetFile helped speed up claims, while community-focused education empowered workers to understand their rights and options. When we eliminate confusion and delay, we restore trust in the process—and that’s the foundation of true reform.

Continuing the Work

Improving access to workers’ compensation requires more than just legislative change—it demands active engagement. Workers deserve clear guidance, consistent care, and responsive systems that prioritize their recovery. Reform means giving people the tools and resources they need from day one.

We continue this mission through education, outreach, and advocacy. From hosting local workshops to collaborating with legal professionals, every step we take is aimed at removing confusion and ensuring workers are never left behind.
