Heart Attack & Stroke

Workers' Comp Lawyers: Heart Attack and Stroke

If you have a heart attack or stroke at work, will your medical care be covered by workers' compensation? It all depends on whether the medical evidence shows the heart attack or stroke was caused by physical exertion, heat or workplace stress.

The insurance company will comb through your medical history, looking for any evidence that could be linked to your heart attack or stroke. If you have a history of high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or are overweight, they will deny your workers' compensation claim.
