Gotta agree with Len here. I don't think that cumulative problems that should be considered a reasonable and expected outcome of a certain type of labor should be covered by worker's comp.
What's next, mechanics getting workers comp because their hands are calloused after working on cars for 40 years? I just don't get it. If a person injures themselves during a specific incident at work then fine, but this cumulative injury thing just doesn't fly in my book.
Can I get worker's comp if I get an ulcer due to chronic stress in my job? For that matter, can I sue Rodeo for causing me chronic stress and giving me an ulcer by his posts on this BBS??
