About McGill Law Firm

McGill Law Firm is a legal practice located in downtown London, Ontario, that serves injured workers facing legal issues related to workplace accidents governed by Ontario law. The firm focuses exclusively on representing injured workers in ongoing claims before the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (W.S.I.B.), as well as associated matters such as Canada Pension Plan (C.P.P.) Disability claims. The firm provides legal representation for a wide range of issues, including securing ongoing Loss of Earnings and Future Economic Loss benefits for injuries occurring prior to 1998. They assist clients with obtaining Health Care Benefits for treatments like massage, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care, as well as assistive devices such as wheelchairs, canes, and crutches. Additional services include navigating Work Transition services for re-education and retraining, securing in-home care and home modifications, and providing opinions on the ability to sue an employer or other involved parties. The team also assists civil litigation lawyers with "Right to Sue Applications" and provides guidance on choosing between W.S.I.B. coverage and motor vehicle insurance. Founded by Rob McGill, who was called to the Bar in 1993, the practice began as a general litigation firm before specializing in worker's compensation advocacy. Rob McGill is a recognized leader in the field and is one of only eleven lawyers in Ontario certified by the Law Society of Upper Canada as a Specialist in Workplace Safety and Insurance Law. He serves as the Editor of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association’s “Basic Guide to Injured Worker’s Legal Rights” and frequently presents at their Continuing Legal Education seminars. The firm operates with Rob McGill and two law clerks, Candace and Kala, who assist with case status updates and information regarding W.S.I.B. policies.
