Survivor Benefits for Workers’ Comp Deaths

Family members who lose a loved one due to a work-related injury may be entitled to workers’ compensation dependent benefits.

When the insurance carrier is challenging whether the death was work-related, working with an experienced Bradenton workers’ compensation death benefits attorney can make a big difference. Legler Murphy & Battaglia, LLP, has been protecting the rights of injured workers and families since 1989. We can help.

We routinely represent spouses, children or other family members after a workplace tragedy. With our help, families can get through the claims process as smoothly as possible.

Alyson Battaglia and her assistant were a privilege to work with after an auto accident with injuries. They helped me deal with the insurance company, and took a lot of the stress away while I was recovering. Any documents, or bills that came up I could forward to them and they would answer my questions, and/or take action. All in all, they were very professional and trustworthy to work with in reaching a fair settlement. I would highly recommend Alyson Battaglia and this firm if you are looking for a strong injury attorney that has your best interests in mind. Ultimately, she made a difficult situation much easier to deal with in bringing to a successful conclusion. 10/10 A+
