Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

filing a claim

My husband has been off work for two months and has been receiving disability payments. His primary doctor took him off work because of elevated blood pressure that was a stroke level due to stress from his job. The doctor wrote stress and hypertension due to work. My question is can he still file a workers comp claim.

Re: filing a claim

Your husband can file a valid worker's compensation claim for work-related hypertension, related insomnia, anxiety and tension. However there are other factors such as history of hypertension and mental state of the claimant and events that happened at work play important roles.
