workers compensation question (law stuff)?
okay heres the question i have to ask
if bob had a heart attack while he was under stress at work, can he collect workers compensation for the time he had to be away from work as he recovered?
a. yes, since the attack occurred while he was at work
b. yes, if he can prove that the heart attack was caused by a fellow employeee
c. no since she probably would have had the attack whether he was at work or not that particular day
d. no since heart attack is not considered job related injury
ah im stick with the last problem 
b,maybe d
d. no since the heart attack is not considered a job related injury.
this person would be eligible to collect disability for the time out of work.
Of course, the answer may depend on the state you are in, but generally, the answer is b.
Whether Bob can recover for his heart attack under workers’ compensation depends on whether his employment was a causative factor in his suffering a heart attack. In “mental-physical” cases, where stress is alleged to cause physical injury, a person needs to prove that the stress they experienced due to job duties was greater than the stress experienced by the general public. So, if Bob can prove that some severe stress at work was a factor in suffering a heart attack, he can recover under WC. Note that Bob only needs to prove that the stress was a causative factor, not the causative factor. The fact that Bob may have had a bad heart prior to the injury is not relevant.
