Heart Attack and Strokes

Work-related stress is one of several factors that can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. Heart attacks and strokes can be considered compensable workers' compensation claims. However, these cases require proof that the heart attack or stroke was related to your job. These claims are often denied because an elevated level of proof is required to show that the stroke or heart attack was directly caused by your employment.

If you or a loved one have suffered a heart attack or stroke which you feel is work related, contact Lombardi & Perry LLP to schedule an appointment for an initial consultation.
