The workers compensation death benefit is on the order of $300K payable to the worker's dependents (not necessarily the same as the heirs). So if there is any question as to whether the cardopulmonary arrest was work-related, it will be very worthwhile for the dependent(s) to retain a workers' comp attorney and litigate the case before the worker-friendly Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. Watch out for legal time limits, and please feel free to contact me directly.

The cause of death should be determined to be work-related even partially. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
