If you’ve lost a loved one due to an on-the-job injury or a work-related illness, you should take these steps:
- Make sure your loved one’s employer has reported the fatality.
- Preserve any evidence relevant to the fatal workplace incident, such as photos, videos, texts, emails, witness accounts, and any correspondence about working conditions.
- Inquire about workers’ comp death benefits and survivor benefits that could assist your household.
- Speak with an attorney about the death of your loved one.
A third party could be held liable for the death of your loved one, and our lawyers can help you seek compensation through a wrongful death claim.
