Construction sites are widely accepted to be among the most dangerous workplaces in the nation. But what happens when the worst possible scenario - a construction accident death - occurs? Many bereaved family members do not realize that they may be entitled to collect financial compensation when they lose a loved one due to a construction accident. Read on for more information on construction accident deaths and your rights:
Construction accident deaths have a myriad of causes and can affect workers of all experience levels and positions. A beam could fall from a height, causing a brain injury; electrocution could send a fatal shock throughout a victim's body; toxic chemical exposure or a traumatic crash could prove to be fatal. Stairs can collapse, trenches can collapse, and dangerous areas can not be well marked and noticeable to other workers. Whatever the cause, the effects are the same - not only are family members deprived of the right to see their loved one, but their livelihoods are affected by the loss of financial input and participation of their family member.
Luckily, the law allows the families of victims of construction accident deaths to seek financial compensation for the loss of their loved one. The parents, spouse, and children of the decedent can go to civil court and sue for compensation related to the death itself, any associated lost wages or other costs, and even collect money for losses well in excess of any claim allowed in a workers compensation claim in Arizona after a construction site injury. Though this cannot replace the loved one who was taken from them, it can go a long way towards helping the family - and can punish the negligent parties whose lack of care and responsibility lead to the loss of a precious life.
At Breyer Law, we understand our clients suffer from heartbreak, devastation and anger that can follow the death of a loved one far beyond what most people will ever have to experience. We believe that families should hold irresponsible employers and contractors responsible for their incompetent or irresponsible actions and seek the compensation they deserve - and we support them throughout the process in every way we can. If you have had the tragic experience of losing a loved one to a construction accident in Arizona, it may be wise to consider discussing whether there is a valid claim for compensation, above and beyond a workers compensation claim.
Contact us today for more information and a free, confidential case evaluation. We will provide you an honest assessment of your case and not only tell you what we think about brining a potential case, but we will also provide you with the facts we rely upon in coming to that determination so that the loved ones can make the best decision for themselves and the surviving family members.
