Hispanic workers’ fatality rate up 76% over past 15 years

USA Today recently reported that, while workplace fatalities are down overall, Hispanic workplace fatalities are significantly up right now.  Certainly, if your spouse, parent, or other relative has been killed at work in Atlanta, please contact my Atlanta workers’ compensation law office for a free consultation regarding your rights as an heir.  Benefits after a workplace fatality vary by several factors, including whether the decedent was married, whether he/she had children, what the children’s ages were at the time of death, whether he/she was already receiving workers’ compensation benefits at the time of death or not, etc.
