What is the name of your state?
Texas
I cut my leg while at work, my supervisor and I treated it with ointment and bandages. Over the course of a week it got worse and worse. It developed a very serious infection (MRSA) that caused be to be hospitalized for over a week. My employer has denied my claim because they said it was an ordinary disease of life. I have a statement from my supervisor showing I injured it at work, a statement from the hospital doctor saying it started from the cut, and a statement from my PCP saying it started and spread from the cut. My company says it doesn't matter - it is an ordinary disease of life that the general public is exposed too.
