Lyme Disease Presumption For Natural Resource Employees
Recently, Natural Resource employees have been provided protection for lyme disease. As with heart disease for public safety employees, Natural Resource employees who contract lyme disease are presumed to have contracted an occupational disease caused by the job. As long as an employee has had some exposure to the outdoors as part of their job, it is almost impossible for the employer/insurer to win the case.
