Employees' Compensation Act | Cardiac Death Due to Work Stress During Long-Haul Driving Constitutes Accidental Death : MP HC
MP High Court rules that cardiac arrest triggered by employment-related stress and fatigue during long-distance driving qualifies as an 'accidental death' under the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923. The judgment reinforces that employers are liable for compensation where a causal nexus exists between work conditions and fatal health events, even in the absence of external injury.
