On The Job Heart Attack
After lifting several 60-80 lb. rolls of plastic and carrying them up a ladder at work to put them away, I suffered a heart attack. Should this be covered under workers compensation?

Re: On The Job Heart Attack
In general, on the job injuries are covered by worker's compensation. Your employer may challenge it, and there are exceptions (such as you were not working at the time), but in general that's how it works.
