The death of a family member, whether in a workplace accident or as the result of an illness caused by occupational hazards, is one of the most horrific events a family can face. No amount of money will ever come close to compensating your family for the loss of a loved one due to a fatal accident at work. The pain and loss associated with a sudden death after an injury at work can leave a family feeling lost, angry and confused. A Workers’ Compensation claim is one way a family can seek assistance from the deceased family member’s employer.
The Media, PA Workers’ Compensation attorneys at Schmidt, Kirifides & Fridkin represent families in fatal work accident claims against
the employer in an attempt to secure benefits and money damages to
replace a loved one’s lost income. Sometimes the actual employer is not
at fault for the fatal accident on the job, but the employee’s death
happens at work because of defective equipment manufactured or installed
by a third party. In either case, family members may be entitled to
Workers’ Compensation survivor benefits.

An important question that can be asked regarding this matter is whether or not employees can file work accident claim for injurious accidents that occur during such parties. In asking this question, perhaps we have touched on something delicate and inconvenient to talk about, for it is an uncomfortable truth that even office parties, whose end and aim is for people to relax, bond, and enjoy each other’s company, can sometimes end in tragic accidents or even fatalities
