A maintenance man at an apartment complex was tragically killed when he was assisting in an eviction of a resident. This gentleman’s widow hired us to represent her in connection with the death benefits available under the Virignia Workers’ Compensatiion Act. The Virginia Workers’ Compensation statute provides for a maximum 500 week benefit for a death claim when the surviving family members are totally dependent upon the decedent. After calculating the the present value of the 500 week benefit, we were able to obtain a lump sum settlement for the widow of $188,000.
