Fatal Work-Related Accidents & Injuries

Bronx Workers' Compensation Lawyer

When a family has lost a loved one in a workplace accident or as the result of any work-related injury, they may be able to file a workers' compensation claim in order to receive financial benefits for their loss. New York workers' compensation law provides the surviving spouse and/or children with specific benefits, possibly including two-thirds of the worker's income and burial expenses totaling $5,000 to $6,000, depending on where the worker resided.

If you recently lost a loved one in a work-related accident, it is important to consider consulting an attorney in order to properly file your claim and receive the benefits your family deserves. No financial settlement or amount of workers' compensation benefits can ever make up for losing a treasured family member.  However, this may provide some relief from the financial burdens that are often suffered after the death of a loved one.
