Montana Worker Shocked On The Job Limited To Workers' Compensation Benefiits



Question: Can I sue the employer after a 220 electric shock, and is now having Epilepsy seizures?
Question Detail: I was cleaning a fry holder. Unknown to anyone there was a 220 plug in top corner covered by aluminum foil. When I touched it my world has been stopped, can't do the small things I loved (Drawing, working with show dogs, etc.)




Answer:  You should have filed a workers compensation claim within one year in Montana.  Your world didn’t stop if you still are working.  You will have to prove your epilepsy was caused by the shock.  That may be difficult.  Only your neurologist can help you win workers comp medical.  You can’t sue for loss of drawing or working with show dogs.
