Local Law Firms Home > Workers' Comp Law Overview > Wrongful Death on the Job Losing a loved one is never easy. It is especially tragic when the death was the result of a negligent party and when the individual who died was simply performing their assigned occupational duties. Many times, these deaths could have been prevented if simple safety precautions were taken beforehand. A fatal workplace accident can happen to anyone and affects a large array of occupations. It does not have to be a type of job that is considered dangerous. For example, a slip and fall accident in a normal office setting can be fatal, or a job that involves driving as part of the daily duties can be deadly as well.
Even if a job is considered more dangerous, it does not make it anymore justified if an individual dies while performing a work-related task. Construction jobs, for example, are usually considered to be more hazardous because of the work that is involved. While sometimes accidents do happen on a construction site, accidents that are out of anybody’s control, there have been many occasions in which a worker would not have died had the proper safety measures been taken. Did you know? Pursuing a wrongful death on the job case involves many steps. As part of this process, the four main steps are investigation, strategy, demand package/mediation/lawsuit, and resolution.
