A worker, a surviving dependant and/or the Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) may take legal action against a third party responsible for a work injury.
Frequently asked questions

A: You must provide written notice if you decide to take action against a third party. We will also advise you of our claim in the third-party action.
A: To recover the costs of a claim, we may:
- Bring legal action in our own name against the third party if the worker chooses not to.
- Recover claim costs from the amount recovered by the worker in the settlement of the action.
