If someone is self employed and gets hurt while working, could they deduct their out of pocket expenses? More specifically, I have a small farm. Part of that includes an apiary (bee farm). I got stung the other day while I was working the bees. I had a severe reaction and ended up in the ED. Could my copays and deductables be considered a business expense? I also know that one cannot double dip. So if the expenses in question were paid with pre tax dollars I understand that they wouldn't be deductable a second time.
I suppose a similar question could be if someone drives a personal vehicle for business related activities and had and accident while conducting business, would their deductables be considered a business expense?
