Shiftwork as related to stress claims under workers' compensation statutes.
Today, if a claimant can show that a medical condition was caused by work, or that a psychiatric or emotional condition resulted from allowed injuries or occupational diseases, workers' compensation requirements usually are met. Stress-related claims, however, are less predictable; they are resolved through state workers' compensation boards and state appeals courts, with almost no federal involvement.
