One more bill can be added to the growing total for the Stanley Cup riot, as workers’ compensation claims mount for physical and psychological injuries caused by the June 15 mayhem.

Two dozen people who were working in downtown Vancouver that night have filed claims with WorkSafeBC for injuries ranging from cuts and bruises to post-traumatic stress disorder in the past month, said spokeswoman Donna Freeman.
