Sudden injury caused by cumulative trauma.

A heart attack or stroke may be considered work-related in some cases, even if the event itself occurred away from the workplace. A detailed account of your daily tasks, including physical exertion, heat exposure, stress, and other factors can help prove that your job was detrimental to your physical and mental health. You may even be able to collect employees’ compensation if a preexisting condition played a part in your sudden injury.
