Ruptured breast implant constitutes work-related injury, Quebec tribunal rules
Summary by CTV News
Quebec’s administrative labour tribunal has ruled that a ruptured breast implant constitutes a work-related injury after a West Island gardener was injured on the job while feeding a wood chipper.
The Administrative Labour Tribunal recognizes that the rupture of a worker's breast implant is an occupational injury and grants reimbursement for the costs incurred for the replacement surgery of the right breast implant -- not for the left -- performed in a private clinic and for the full cost of anesthesia.
