We understand the pain of a loved one going to work and not coming home
A workplace fatality is a devastating loss. While Workers' Compensation is often the baseline, it is rarely enough to account for the true cost of your family’s loss. If your loved one died due to unsafe conditions, equipment failure, or employer negligence, we are here to hold the company accountable.
Every worker in California has the right to a safe workplace. When an employer cuts corners on safety to save a buck, they gamble with human lives. A fatal accident is almost always preventable. If your family has suffered a tragedy because of workplace negligence, you need legal advocates who can navigate both the complexities of Workers' Compensation and the aggressive pursuit of third-party liability. It’s time to level the playing field.
If your loved one was required to work in conditions that violated OSHA safety standards, the employer bears direct responsibility.
If a machine malfunctioned or lacked proper safety guards, we can pursue the manufacturer for third-party liability.
Employers are legally required to provide adequate training. Failing to do so is a primary cause of preventable workplace fatalities.
If an outside contractor or vendor caused the accident, we can sue them directly—getting you compensation beyond what Workers' Comp offers.
Fatalities resulting from long-term exposure to hazardous materials or acute chemical accidents due to improper containment.
If your loved one reported safety hazards before the accident and was ignored or punished, we document that history to prove negligence.
A workplace fatality often involves more than just an employer’s negligence. Whether it was defective machinery, a negligent outside contractor, or hazardous conditions created by others, we pursue every legal avenue to ensure your family’s recovery isn’t limited by the shortcomings of the Workers’ Comp system.
"A workplace fatality is not just an 'accident'—it is an avoidable failure. We fight to ensure that the corporation is held financially responsible for the hole they’ve left in your family.” — Avi Gholian, Founding Attorney
