Caring Representation After A Workplace Death
Losing a loved one due to a workplace accident is an unimaginably painful experience. Workplace fatalities can result from a variety of incidents. Common causes include falls from heights, machinery-related injuries, vehicle accidents, exposure to harmful substances and electrical accidents. When a loved one passes on in a workplace accident, make sure you have a skilled workers’ compensation attorney helping you through your wrongful death claim.
At The Law Offices of Joseph E. Lounsbury, I understand the profound impact of losing a loved one to a workplace accident, and I am here to help you navigate the legal aspects of this tragic situation with compassion and diligence, no matter what may have caused the accident.
Types Of Fatal Workplace Accidents
Fatal workplace accidents can occur under various circumstances and are often the result of negligence or recklessness. Common scenarios include:
- Significant falls
- Machinery-related injuries
- Vehicle-related incidents
- Exposure to harmful substances
- Electrical accidents
- Defective products
- Overlooked or ignored safety protocols
No matter what may have caused your loved one’s passing while on the job, I am prepared to fight for every penny that you and your family deserve. In the event of a work-related death, the dependents of the deceased, including family and friends, have the right to claim workers’ compensation death benefits.
What Death Benefits Can Provide
Death benefits are a critical component of workers’ compensation, designed to provide financial assistance to the dependents of workers who have died due to job-related accidents. The goal of these benefits is to cover the costs and losses associated with the decedent’s passing, including medical costs, funeral and burial expenses, and lost income. While every claim has a different outcome, my goal is to maximize the compensation you receive for your loss.
