Workplace Accident Death Claims Lawyer
Without question, when a loved one loses their life in a workplace accident, families are devastated, as they have lost a loved one as well as a provider. Thus, the emotional trauma paired with the stress and worry over finances is enormously difficult to cope with.
Under federal and state law in South Carolina, employers are required to provide their employees with a safe and healthy workplace that is free of hazards that may cause injuries, illness or death. While the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducts regular inspections of businesses, however, accidents continue to happen, and some lead to death.
That’s why it’s important to contact the workplace accident death claims attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers if your loved one has died while performing their job. As experienced personal injury and workers’ compensation lawyers, our team can help your family obtain justice and the compensation you need under applicable laws for your case.
To discuss the details of your claim, call CFJ Injury Lawyers for a free evaluation and review.
Call CFJ Injury Lawyers If Your Loved One Has Died On The Job
If your family member or loved one has died in a workplace accident, the right to recover compensation is based upon who was involved. While workers’ compensation generally provides a death benefit for funeral expenses, as well as a weekly benefit for beneficiaries, it’s important to contact an experienced workplace accident death claims lawyer. This is because additional compensation may be recovered through a third-party claim.
For instance, if a subcontractor dies on the job, there are a number of others that might be considered liable for the incident that led to their death. These include general contractors, property owners and perhaps the manufacturer and distributor of defective equipment.
If a family member or someone that you love has died in an accident on the job, the workplace accident death claims attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers welcome your call. With a strong record of advocacy for over 35 years, our team is committed to helping ease the effects of your loss through the recovery of damages and compensation. For a free evaluation of your claim, contact us today.

Faith CenobioThey really took care of me when I was hurt on the job and recovering from my injury.
James JerrelsI feel very blessed to have found CFJ attorneys. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process I felt important to them. Lisa was very attentive with her dedication and communication with me. Not only would I use them in the future. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Jaimie CatoeCFJ Injury Lawyers and their team are great! Cathy and Lisa are who I spoke with the most. They took care of me and were so understanding of my crazy work schedule and took that into consideration when contacting me! I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my case.
Debbie KelcyMy husband and I have used Wern Law for over 25 years. So when we needed an attorney in 2018 we did not hesitate. Catherine has always handled our cases, and since the firm has "changed hands" from Richard to Catherine, she has gotten a few new associates in the group and hasn't missed a beat. If we ever need to have representation again, this is the only law firm we will use. If you need an attorney for other issues that they do not specialize in, rest assured they will give you excellent advice and good direction. I won't go on blast for the dirty underhanded attorneys and the likes who played games with clients as well as Richard and Catherine. So, if you happen to run across one of them that bad mouth CFI or their staff, run... CFI is very fair and ALWAYS have your best interest at heart. This firm are not ambulance chasers. They rely on word of mouth for advertising.
Rodney MandervilleRichard and his firm/Family have "Always" been there for me and my family as well as those I've referred to his Council. Through good times as well as tough times for literally 20 years. He has always delivered and even more so has become a Great Friend. The information may not always be what you desire to hear but you can be assured that they will be professional and tactful they insure that you are never caught off guard and, that you are thoroughly prepared and informed for any and all matters that may arise throughout your case. In a word "OUTSTANDING"!
Tiffany MillerVery professional staff, knows everyone's name no matter if you've been there only once! You get more than just an attorney; you get a support system and a friend (the type of friend if you're down in the trenches, he's there with you strategizing a way out). You really know that Richard is handling your case as best he can without question. I have used several different law firms in the past and I would recommend this law firm, seeing first-hand the length he goes to for his clients. He also has spanish speaking staff, I would highly recommend Nicole!!!
Larry ConnerI met Richard through my daughter. I fell 8 feet in February 2011 and broke the L2 vertebra in my back!! Over a period of two years, I realized I was going to need help. I came to meet with Richard to talk about my accident. It was the best thing I ever did! My case went on for a little over 3 years and I am very pleased with the outcome Richard helped me obtain. He is an excellent attorney!
Kishawna BonaparteOur experience with Richard Wern Lawyers was exceptional and phenomenal. Every one there was extremely caring and attentive to our each and every single need and want from the friendly receptionist to the Paralegal and Lawyer himself, Mr. Richard Wern, Esq. Whenever a problem arose, his staff was fully prepared to handle whatever the issue was very prompt and tactfully. I would HIGHLY recommend Richard Wern Lawyers to my friends and family for their workers comp. or personal injury needs. Richard Wern Lawyers is rated top 5 in my book. Thanks for everything, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest (Kashawna) Googe
