JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

To begin with, we send our sincerest condolences on the loss of your husband. We know this can be a difficult time for you not only emotionally, but financially as well. Thankfully, the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation program has benefits designed to assist dependents and survivors.

Depending on the situation with which your spouse died on the job in Pennsylvania, you and your spouse’s dependents may be eligible for several death benefits. Benefits from a workplace death in Pennsylvania include:

• Funeral and burial costs – With the average funeral costing several thousand dollars, these benefits care for all the costs associated with burying your loved one.
• Lost wages – A percentage of your spouse’s wages may be paid to you and your dependents over a period of time. Often the benefits will last until you die, remarry or for a set period of time. Your children will also receive benefits typically until they reach age of majority.
• Medical expenses – If your husband needed medical care before his death, it is likely that workers’ compensation death benefits can help pay for these medical expenses.

The financial impact of a death of a loved one can take a toll on a family for a long time. With the help of a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorney, you and your family can obtain the needed Pennsylvania workers’ compensation death benefits.
