Support for Families in Fatal Workplace Accidents with Sousa Law, LLC
The loss of a loved one due to a workplace accident is an incredibly painful experience. At Sousa Law, LLC, we empathize with the profound grief you and your family are facing during this challenging time. Our aim is to provide compassionate support and clear guidance on your rights and potential benefits under Connecticut workers’ compensation laws.
Guidance Through Workers’ Comp Claims for Fatal Injuries
Robert C. Sousa, managing lawyer at Sousa Law, LLC, brings over 25 years of experience in assisting families of Connecticut workers — including UPS truck drivers, construction workers, police officers, and firefighters — through the complexities of workers' compensation claims and appeals.
In cases of fatal workplace injuries, it’s crucial to act promptly due to limited timeframes for filing claims. Delaying can jeopardize your ability to receive the benefits you deserve. We are here to help you navigate this process and understand your options.
Seeking Compensation to Alleviate Financial Burdens
While no monetary compensation can ever replace your loved one, it can provide relief from financial strains such as:
Lost wages or potential earnings
Funeral expenses
Pain and suffering
Loss of companionship (consortium)
Our team is equipped with the necessary knowledge and resources to help you secure the benefits you need to move forward. Special provisions may apply if your loved one was a firefighter, police officer, or another municipal worker, entitling you to additional benefits.
