Re: Workers compensaiton denied
The mix up is if you passed out for no reason related to work, workers comp may be off the hook. (If you hit your head on the concrete floor and the work environment increased your risk of injury from a fainting spell that was not job related, you still may be entitled to benefits. However, because you passed out because you hit your knee, it is compensable. You should file a petition for workers compensation with a lawyer specializing in that type of case. Give me a call if you are in the tri-county area.
