Are You or Your Children Eligible for Death Benefits?
The laws governing who is entitled to receive a death benefit after a fatal work accident are extremely complex. Very generally, dependent children can receive these benefits for 400 weeks or until the age of 18, and spouses can also receive benefits if they are disabled.
It may be hard to determine whether a workplace fatality was work-related or not. We are experienced at documenting medical evidence in support of our clients' death benefit claims.
Over the years, we have dealt with unique situations in the area of workers' compensation death benefits. We handle every case with sensitivity to the tragic circumstances our clients experience as a result of fatal work accidents.
If you have any questions about your or your children's eligibility for death benefits, please contact us to schedule an interview with an experienced workers' compensation attorney.
