You go through the motions because you have to, all the while wondering if a safer work environment could have prevented the fatal accident.

Our trustworthy West Virginia wrongful death attorneys can help you file a workplace wrongful death claim against the person or company responsible for the dangerous condition.

Unnecessary Dangers Cause Too Many Deaths

The state of West Virginia is third highest for U.S. workplace fatalities. (Read the shocking workplace fatality study conducted by the AFL-CIO.) Deaths happen in all types of work environments, including construction, fishing, hunting, forestry, mining, transportation and agriculture. While some people blame a lack of enforcement or a loosening of OSHA safety restrictions, others say the punishments for safety negligence are not severe enough. At Hewitt & Salvatore, PLLC, we believe that our representation of fatally injured victims can make a difference in how employers view safety. For each family that we represent, every case we win, we are demanding that employers take safety laws seriously.

Compensation for a workplace fatality may include:

  • Death and burial expenses
  • Loss of future earning potential
  • Lost income
  • Loss of companionship
  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering

At Hewitt & Salvatore, we want our legal representation of injured workers to make a difference. It is our hope that the industries will be forced to recognize their missteps and take responsibility for the deaths of innocent workers.
