Hello,

I'm inquiring as to weather an injury would fall under workers comp or occupational disease.

I've workerd for the same company for 14 years and have had 2 knee orthoscopy of the left knee. Neither of which were claimed under workers comp. About 8 months ago I had to go back to an assembly line due to a reduction in force. I had current walking and standing restrictions but had to work doing alot of standing and walking. Since then my knee has swollen to twice it's size and in order to work I had to take pain meds and wear a brace. My personel Dr. said I need a knee replacement. Would this fall under either occupational disease or workers comp?

Thanks
CG
