electrocution accident

Wrongful Death in the Workplace Not Always Limited to Workers’ Compensation

It was reported in an article that two Arizona workers were electrocuted to death in two separate incidents; an employee of the Salt River Project and an employee of the Arizona Public Service Co. No lawsuit or legal claim can bring back these two workers, but the families dealing with this and any other workplace wrongful death in Arizona should know that they can receive more than just workers’ compensation in some cases.

We know a lawsuit cannot undo the harm caused by this electrocution accident in Arizona, but as an experienced Arizona law firm that helps families in wrongful death cases we understand the consequences of loss of income and how it often creates further economic suffering. It is important for families to get help during such a tragedy caused by wrongful death on the job. We know that there are many legal alternatives that may provide more than workers’ compensation.

In the cases of workplace deaths mentioned above, we do not know whether the families are entitled to more than workers’ compensation, but we use it as an example to state that families of workers who have died in the course of their work or had an on-the-job injury in Arizona may have access to other benefits.

It is always difficult to say whether a claim should be pursued. Unlike some personal injury lawyers, we believe it is the families that must make the decision in the case of a serious injury or wrongful death. For some people, it may not be right for them to file a personal injury lawsuit after being injured on the job. As Arizona wrongful death attorneys , we are happy to provide the information people need when considering a wrongful death suit by answering questions that allows a family to make the best choice for their specific case.
