Representing the Families of Fatal Accident Victims
When a worker suffers an injury on the job, that is difficult enough to handle. If the injuries are severe enough to cause death, the situation becomes unimaginably worse. If you are the spouse or child of a worker who died in a work-related accident, you may be able to recover some financial compensation to help you through this trying time.
At Zingarelli & Lawrence, we represent surviving spouses and children in workers' compensation cases involving death. We know that no amount of money could possibly replace what you have lost. We believe, however, that a fair settlement can give you and your family the resources you need to pay expenses and make ends meet as you try to move forward in life.
We sympathize with you and are available to help in any way that we can. For a free initial consultation with our Florence workers' compensation death benefits attorneys, please call 859-795-4254 or toll free 888-381-3823. You can also contact our law firm online.
What Survivor Benefits Are Available?
Kentucky has a complex legal system set up to pay workers' comp benefits to the family of someone who suffers a fatal work injury. The rules are very specific and our attorneys will explain them to you in detail when you visit our office, but generally, the following people are eligible for benefits:
- A surviving spouse
- Minor children of the deceased worker
- Mentally disabled adult children of the deceased worker
- The parent of the deceased worker, if he or she had no spouse and no children
The state of Kentucky sets minimum and maximum amounts that are available to survivors. These amounts change each year. When you visit us, we will be able to give you an idea of how much you may be able to expect.
