If a company or person other than the employer caused the death, the family may bring civil claims for full damages. Examples include negligent drivers, property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and security vendors.
In rare situations, claims against an employer may be possible if conduct meets narrow legal standards. We evaluate every fact pattern and advise on realistic options.
