Workers' Compensation Law - Limits of Coverage for Heart Attacks, Strokes, Seizures and other Catastrophic Medical Conditions in the Workplace

"Meyerkord and Meyerkord, a Legacy of Legal Innovation"

When a Missouri worker's compensation claim is denied, an appeal of the agency decision can be time consuming, confusing and stressful. There are several common reasons for the denial of worker's compensation claims. One such situation is where the injury experienced by the employee is classified as "idiopathic". Usually an idiopathic condition is an occurrence such as a heart attack, a seizure, a stroke, or brain aneurysm. Idiopathic conditions, may or may not entitle an employee to worker's compensation benefits. While injuries caused by a heart attack, stroke, or the like are not recoverable, Missouri have found that the injuries which occur after the idiopathic event may be recoverable if there is an appropriate connection between the employment activity and the injuries. These worker's compensation claims are closely scrutinized by employers, however, and can be wrongfully denied if not properly advocated and represented during the worker's compensation process.
