But unless you and your doctor can verify to the satisfaction of the workers comp carrier that your heart attack was caused by your employment as opposed to coincidentally happening while you were working, it is unlikely to be accepted. ElleMD 08-07-2006, 05:57 AM Heart attacks are very rarely found to be caused by work and therefore are very rarely covered under WC. You can always file, but I would be surprised if the claim was accepted. It is a common misconception that anything that happens at work is covered by WC. * Find more information on Worker's Compensation. |
