CNESST Review Request
Request a review of a CNESST decision from the Division de révision administrative (DRA)
SLOGAR, your ally for CNESST review requests – to have your condition recognized, get your impairment acknowledged and recover your compensation
The CNESST, the Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail, is an insurance company. It must respond to the needs of both employers and injured workers. What a paradox! In this context, it’s not surprising to learn that many CNESST decisions can disadvantage and even harm certain injured individuals. Whether it’s a workplace accident or an occupational disease, it’s too often difficult for the injured person to navigate the system. Claim denials, medical assessments, complex CNESST decision-making processes, employer interests, laborious legal recourse and threatened worker rights are the reality for too many injured people today.
In this often intimidating process for injured individuals, the specialized law firm SLOGAR Juriconseils is here to guide you, defend your interests and assert your rights at every step of the process.
The CNESST review request, why is it so important?
The CNESST review request, submitted to the CNESST administrative review division, is a crucial first step to challenge the CNESST and have your situation recognized, regardless of the subject of the decision rendered at this first level of CNESST decision-making.
IMPORTANT: You have 30 days following receipt of the first-level CNESST decision letter to submit a CNESST review request and, consequently, challenge the CNESST.
What should you do following a CNESST decision you disagree with?
Step 1: Consultation with a member of the SLOGAR specialist team
The process begins with a consultation with a member of the SLOGAR specialist team, your trusted partner. During this consultation, we will review the specific details of your situation. You’ll have the opportunity to share your version of events and submit the CNESST decision(s) you received. We will then take the time necessary to fully understand your unique situation.
Step 2: Preparation of the CNESST review request
Once we have a good understanding of your situation, our lawyers or claims management specialists will begin preparing your CNESST review request. This crucial step involves first protecting your interests and rights, then gathering solid evidence, and eventually drafting convincing arguments to assert your rights while ensuring compliance with the legal and administrative requirements of the second level of the CNESST decision-making process, the CNESST administrative review. The CNESST review officer will then have to render a CNESST decision in turn.
Step 3: Appeal to the Administrative Labour Tribunal (TAT) of the CNESST decision rendered in administrative review, if it does not appear to comply with the law and is not satisfactory in recognizing your situation.
After a CNESST decision rendered in administrative review, our commitment to you doesn’t stop there. If the outcome doesn’t suit you and doesn’t appear to respect the applicable law, SLOGAR can consider challenging the CNESST and its decision to ensure your rights are preserved and justice is served, this time before the Administrative Labour Tribunal.
