Fatal Workplace Accident
If an employee is killed in a workplace accident or later dies as a result of the serious injuries sustained, the surviving family members might be able to receive workers' compensation death benefits. A knowledgeable attorney can answer your questions and provide direction on the best course of action.
J. Bradley Baker, a Lexington workers' compensation death benefits lawyer, has more than a decade of experience guiding clients through a wide range of personal injury and workers' compensation claims. In a death claim, it is a situation where dependents of a deceased worker are entitled to benefits from the workers' compensation system. A dependent typically means someone financially dependent such as a spouse, child or others in certain situations. If there are disagreements, a commissioner has a hearing to determine who the dependents are. We can examine your situation and educate you on the filing process and any challenges you might face along the way.
We are prepared to handle a wide range of severe workplace accidents that have resulted in fatal injuries, including:
- Construction accidents
- Explosions
- Fires
- Electrocution
- Falls from extreme heights
It is important to contact an attorney immediately to learn more about workers' compensation death benefits, also called survivor benefits. The filing process can be frustrating and time consuming. As your lawyers, we will do everything we can to ensure the filing moves smoothly while you focus your energy on the grieving process.
