Heat Illness at Work cases in Tempe
Nowhere in America does workplace heat hit harder than Maricopa County. Construction crews, roofers, landscapers, warehouse workers in un-cooled buildings, and delivery drivers across Tempe face triple-digit temperatures for months — and heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and rhabdomyolysis send Arizona workers to the hospital every summer. Heat illness on the job is a work injury.
Arizona workers' comp generally covers heat illness that arises from the job — hospital care, lost wages, and lasting harm like kidney or heart damage. Serious heat stroke can cause permanent injury, and fatal cases can support death benefits for the family. A participating Arizona law firm may review your Tempe heat illness claim.
