Fighting for Families of Wrongful Death Victims Nationwide
What To Know About a Construction Wrongful Death Claim
A construction death claim may involve two cases pursued simultaneously: a workers’ compensation claim and a wrongful death claim against the negligent parties.
Depending on applicable state law, construction accident victims might be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. In the event of a wrongful death from a construction or work injury, dependents may be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim against negligent individuals or companies who are responsible. The various legal systems are complex to navigate and can feel overwhelming to those who just lost a loved one.

We’ll Pursue ALL Avenues of Compensation for Our Clients
When Should I File for a Wrongful Death Claim?
Generally, the statute of limitations is two years for filing a wrongful death claim. We understand that entering a legal process may be the furthest thing from your mind when a loved one is lost. Let us do the fighting for you, so you can get the peace-of-mind you deserve.
While the workers’ compensation benefits may help bridge a gap, there may be a negligent party or parties responsible for the wrongful death of a family member. In these situations, we will work to hold those parties accountable. A wrongful death suit may help to recover medical expenses, lost future wages, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages. Each case is different, so please call us at 1-800-LAW-NEED® to take advantage of our free consultation.
