Not unless you can prove:
-that a work condition caused or exacerbated a seizure condition,
-that a stressful work environment exacerbated an existing seizure condition,
-that a required duty caused you to be in a place where you sustained a head injury which caused the seizure, or
-that your employer required you to be at work despite their knowledge of an unusually high risk of seizure activity (you had run out of medication, for example).

How long should you wait to call an ambulance if somebody is having a fit?
If this person does not normally have seizures, then it is always appropriate to call an ambulance immediately. Some people with epilepsy or similar diseases can experience regular seizures that cause them no harm and are just inconvenient. Even these people can be subject to unusual seizure activity. If a person does not come out of a seizure after a few minutes, the situation is an emergency. If they seize once, start to wake up, then seize again, this is an emergency. If they start to turn blue, it is an emergency. If in doubt, call for the ambulance.

Why do seizures need to be medicated?
There are a few ways you can look at that question, like whether all people who have epilepsy need to be on medication or whether medication is needed when a seizure happens. Most people with epilepsy are on medication. Epilepsy comes in such a wide variety of types and severity, that there are all sorts of medications and dosages and each individual person is different, so there is not one standard approach. Some people have very mild seizures and may not be on any medication. Others could have very severe seizures and need a lot of medication. Those that are on medication for epilepsy normally take their medication a set amount of times a day, not at the time they have a seizure. Their medication is designed to control seizures, meaning it should at least reduce if not eliminate seizures. Once a seizure starts, there is nothing that can be done to stop it. However, some seizures are extremely mild, lasting just seconds, with only the person that has had it knowing that something has happened, so there is no need for any assistance. Giving someone medication during a seizure is not going to stop it and in many cases it would be difficult to get someone to take medication when they are having a seizure anyway. Only in the most extreme cases, would medical intervention be needed, like if someone was going from one seizure into another for a long period of time, like for 20 minutes or half an hour. Then it would be advisable to call an ambulance. That is something that is very rare. For the majority of people, they will have a seizure and recover soon afterwards, and if you called an ambulance immediately the seizure started, they might be fine or at least well on the way to recovery by the time it arrives, so there would be no need for the ambulance. People seeing someone having a seizure and not knowing what it is tend to panic and call an ambulance, but usually it is not needed. People do get brought to hospital in those cases, just because an ambulance has come and on a precautionary basis, but are usually discharged very soon afterwards, as they have recovered by then. A seizure may only last for a few minutes, so usually there is no medical assistance needed and it is not of any help to the person as they would recover themselves anyway. There is normally no need to give them medication after a seizure either. The person will just follow their normal pattern of when they take their medication. So if someone is having a seizure, all you can do is be there for them, make sure they are OK and comfortable. That is more than sufficient treatment for the vast majority of seizures.

How can you help a child who is having a seizure?
Call a ambulance and loosen their clothing so nothing is tight and put something under their head so they don't hurt themselves. Do not put something between their teeth or hold their hands! A tongue heals faster than broken teeth and they can bite and break your bones! Don't attempt to drive them yourself since if you get stuck in traffic the ambulance might not be able to get to you. But this all depends on what the health care professionals tell you on the phone when you speak to them. Do not hang up on them since the situation can change quickly.
