Hi all,
While looking info on Workers Comp for Ontarions I found information about Dupuytren's and Worker's Compensation was available for other countries as well.
Note: Also do a search using WorkMEN'S Compensation because that is what it *used* to be called in many countries. Searching under MSN, YAHOO, GOOGLE, DOGPILE, ALTAVISTA sometimes produced different results. There isn't a huge amount of info out there, but every little bit helps. :-)
If you choose to pursue such a claim *please* let us know how it turns out.

Search Joseph Ehman 1949 and it will come up. The case went to the Supreme Court and covered all the issues we discuss quite thoroughly, Joseph lost.
HOWEVER It is many years later and I wonder if the issue of a trauma event bringing DC on could be the angle?
Example: If a Fireman was at a fire, broke his hand, had the cast taken off and found nodules for the first time.....would he be eligible? Would DC have presented itself if the hand had not been injured? And...there is no definative proof that DC is genetic so could this argument be used in todays courts?
Food for thought....

I cannot address the legal aspects of your concerns: however, imagine that you have type 2 diabetes and your employer"s cafeteria serves food that aggravates/reveals your genetic predisposition to the illness. What is your injury? When,if ever, was the condition diagnosed? What is your health care history (Doctor visits.) Personally, I do not consider trauma as a cause of DD/DC; I believe that it reveals the underlying predispostion (like type 2 dabetes.) So, your challenge is to find an attorney willing to take your case. If s/he takes it on contingency, that is one case; if you must pay hourly rates, that is another matter altogether. Decide for yourself. Meanwhile stay posted about NA and consider intervention when a finger curls 30-35 degrees.
