Most of us return safely to our families after a day’s work.

However, the unfortunate reality is that from time to time, fatal accidents or injuries happen in the workplace and some people never come home.

When a loved one dies, families are left to grieve and process their loss.

Yet, once the initial shock has passed the often uncomfortable topic arises:

How are we going to afford our ongoing household and life expenses without our main income earner?

If you are a spouse, partner or child who is dependent upon a person who has died at work, you are entitled to lodge a claim for compensation under the Return to Work Act SA 2014.

Compensation that may be available to you includes:-

• Weekly payments.
• Lump sum payments.
• Payment of funeral expenses.
• Payment of counselling services.

We understand that grieving the death of a loved one is a deeply difficult and personal process.

An unexpected death resulting from a work injury can result in further difficulties and complications and that’s when we are here to help you.
