Yormak & Associates

Frequently asked questions

My WSIB claim was denied. Can Yormak & Associates help?

Yes. The firm handles WSIB claim denials and appeals and, on its FAQ page, advises writing to the decision maker as soon as possible to object to a denial while the firm works on the appeal.

Can I get CPP disability and WSIB benefits at the same time?

It depends. The firm's FAQ says full WSIB and full CPP disability benefits generally can't be received together, but a worker on partial WSIB benefits may be able to receive that amount along with full CPP disability benefits.

Should I hire a lawyer or a paralegal for a long term disability claim?

The firm's site notes that paralegals aren't permitted to represent clients in long term or short term disability matters, which it identifies as a reason to use a lawyer for that type of claim.

How much does it cost to hire Yormak & Associates?

The firm bases its fees on the result obtained rather than an hourly rate, and its FAQ page says this is priced similarly to what a paralegal would charge. It offers a free 60 minute initial interview before retainer.

Is there a deadline to appeal a WSIB or CPP denial?

Yes. The firm's WSIB appeal guide notes that most decisions must be appealed within six months, some within one month, and a return to work decision within 30 days, so it advises acting quickly after a denial.

Will Yormak & Associates still take my case if my WSIB claim is very old?

The firm's WSIB appeal guide describes taking on claims it calls decades old, including files it says are beyond 25 years old, and says a case can go through several levels of appeal before it's resolved.
