Students sue unlikely as WCB covers campus injuries
Four University of Lethbridge students in the atrium argue they would sue if hurt on campus but the Workers Compensation Board rules students are workers. The policy means publicly funded post secondary students are government employees covered by WCB when injured during study, as experienced by Rebeca Larreynaga after a lens cover fell in 1999 causing minor brain damage.
