If your loved one was killed on the job, you have my sympathy. You are likely eligible for death benefits from the workers' compensation insurance, and you may be able to sue the employer for causing the death through gross negligence. In layman's terms, that means if the employer knew about the dangerous situation that caused the death, or was indifferent to it, they can be sued by the heirs of the deceased worker. Check with an attorney to proceed quickly in such cases.
