Representing Your Family in a Massachusetts Wrongful Death Claim
A wrongful death can be identified by a negligent act that causes a person's untimely passing. Numerous factors can lead to wrongful death, including:
- Auto accidents
- Construction accidents
- Semi truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Workplace injuries
At our firm we typically represent the estate of the deceased by seeking recovery under the Wrongful Death Statute, which covers many family members. Our attorney works on your behalf to also obtain compensation for loss of companionship and future earnings.
Workers' Compensation and Wrongful Death
We have represented many family members of those who have died on the job. Many issues come up in a work-related death. One such issue that may arise is determining a causal connection, which questions whether the death occurred because of the job or as the result of something else.
In workers' comp, there is a presumption that if someone dies on the job, the family should recover benefits. This presumption can be rebutted, so you should have an attorney on your side who is able to present evidence to the contrary.
