Many employees do not realize that if they suffer a heart attack or a stroke while working, they may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. The general rule of law is where an employee sustains a heart attack or a stroke as a result of a physical exertion on the job or a sudden emotionally-stressful event, they may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. These cases often depend on the employee's ability to explain what they were doing just before they developed symptoms. It is therefore extremely important that you obtain legal help as soon as possible if you wish to pursue a stroke or heart attack case. Each case obviously is decided on its specific facts. We would urge you to seek legal help if you have been the victim of a heart attack or stroke which occurred while you were on the job or shortly after leaving the job.
