If the cause of the accident is a direct result of his\/her employment and not caused by a third-party, then, generally speaking, the answer is no. Worker\u2019s compensation benefits will pay out certain benefits associated with the death. However, often times, we are able to find a third-party who caused or contributed through their negligence to the death of the employee; in this scenario, a\u00a0wrongful death action\u00a0may be pursued against the third-party.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba5db2c accordion elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"ba5db2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

A medical malpractice event can become a\u00a0wrongful death action\u00a0if the victim of the medical malpractice is deceased. If the cause of the death is due to medical malpractice, both medical malpractice and wrongful death statutes apply. The Statute of Limitations, however, will be governed by the individual facts of the case, but in no event will the statute be longer than 2 years from the date of death.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e28423f accordion elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"e28423f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
