Re: staff infection from work

If you acquired an MRSA infection from your work, it would be covered under workers' compensation. Your message starts with the conclusion that you did so, but you would have to prove that conclusion in order to prevail on your claim.

If you care to post some of the facts that you believe prove your infection came from work, I will gladly post a brief assessment of your case. You can also call my office for a free consultatation.
