How can one determine if an injury should be considered serious?

What will be an ideal response?


What constituted an accident varies from state to state. However, all original definitions had in common the characteristics of being sudden and unexpected. Over the years, the definition of an accident has undergone continual change. The major change has been a trend toward the elimination of the sudden characteristic. In many states, the gradual onset of a disease as result of prolonged exposure to harmful substances or a harmful environment can now be considered an accident for workers' compensation purposes.
