In this episode of What’s the Tea in L&E?, Labor & Employment attorneys Leah Stiegler and Alex Liubinskas break down when a psychological condition (such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression) qualifies as an “injury” under workers’ compensation laws and triggers an employer’s duty to report.
They walk through how workers’ comp treats mental health claims, what kinds of workplace events can bring a psychological injury within the scope of employment, and how to think about whether the injury truly arose out of and in the course of an employee’s job duties. It’s a practical, approachable look at a topic that’s becoming increasingly important for employers navigating today’s workplace.
