DISEASE, HEART ATTACK & STROKE

An on-the-job injury includes heart-related or vascular injury, illness or death if it is due to stress in excess of that experienced by a person in the conduct of everyday living. This stress must be directly related to the worker’s employment. These can be some of the toughest cases to prove in Worker’s Compensation Court, as it can be difficult to link the stress-related medical findings to an individual’s employment. The law regarding heart-related problems is changing and new case law may provide assistance if you think you have had a heart attack or stroke due to your job.
