Can I receive workers' compensation for a heart attack?
Yes, you can receive workers' compensation benefits for a work-related heart attack; however, you can only receive workers' compensation for a heart attack if you can show by a preponderance of competent and credible evidence - which must include medical evidence - that your heart attack was attributable to the performance of the usual work of employment.
