Heart Attack and Workers’ Compensation Attorney in Lancaster

Many workplace accidents result in injuries to the head, back, neck and other body parts. Workers often forget that an accident or work task can have additional physical tolls, such as causing a heart attack or stroke. If you have suffered a heart attack, stroke or other traumatic heart injury due to an on-the-job incident, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.

It is important to know that if you are claiming that your heart attack, stroke or other condition was brought about by work, your medical records will be thoroughly examined. These records must be reviewed in order to establish exactly what physically happened to you, any impact that it has on your physicality going forward and the factors that may have contributed to the situation, including:

• Age
• Weight
• Stress level
• Cardiac condition before and after the incident
• Any pre-existing conditions
• Physical limitations

Other aspects of the case that may be examined include:

• How long (amount of time) you had been working on the task that led to your injury
• The physical intensity of the work task that you were doing that led to your injury
• The amount of time between the completion of the task and the beginning of your symptoms
• Whether or not the task was more strenuous than those you perform outside the workplace
• Whether or not the task was within the scope of your regular job responsibilities
