Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability
Q: ARE ALL TYPES OF INJURIES AND DISEASES COVERED UNDER THE WORKERS COMPENSATION LAW?
A: GENERALLY, YES.
The real answer to the question is not the specific injury or illness - rather, the question is:
Did the specific injury or illness arise out of and in the course of employment. That is, did your broken arm, lung disease or herniated lumbar disc happen during work and due to work.
In the fifteen years I have practiced, I have seen almost every disease, illness and injury covered as long as we could prove that there was a work-related link to the condition.
For example, we have "causually related" numerous conditions to work (and therefore workers compensation benefits) such as:
- fractured arms
- fractured legs
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- herniated lumbar discs
- herniated cervical discs
- hernias
- blindness
- post traumatic stress disorder
- asbestosis
- pleural disease
- contact dermititus
- death
- cerebral vascual accidents (strokes)
- heart attacks
- cancers
- exacerbation of underlying multiple sclerosis (MS)
- exacerbation of diabetes mellitus
- schizophrenia
- liver transplant
- total knee replacements
- total hip replacements
- HIV/AIDS
- hearing loss
- vision loss
- and many many more
Whether it is an orthopedic injury, a neurological injury, a contracted disease, a developed condition, a repetitive injury or an occupational disease, it can be covered.
