In the tragic circumstance where an employee is killed in the course of his employment, Workers' Compensation benefits may be payable to the surviving spouse and children. The maximum amount of death benefit payable is determined by the worker’s average weekly wage at the date of death and subject to the statutory maximums in place on the date of death.
If your spouse has been killed in the course of employment, it is important that you understand your legal rights under the New York State Workers' Compensation Law. We would be happy to assist you with your claim during this very difficult time.
