How Presumptive Injury Laws Benefit Fire Fighters and EMS Workers
|
|
|
The employee diagnosed with an occupational disease or condition covered by a
presumptive disability law would be entitled to:
- payment of medical expenses
- disability retirement benefits
- worker's comp benefits
- lost wages, or
- benefits for spouse/family as the situation allows
These benefits will vary between states and provinces, so fire fighters should be familiar with the
workers compensation system that applies to them.
