Milwaukee Wrongful Death Attorney Working for Families in Workers' Comp Claims
Under Wisconsin law, spouses and dependent children are entitled to a death benefit. In certain cases, parents may be eligible for death benefits as well. The maximum death benefit for spouses is four times the average weekly wage of the deceased. This benefit is paid monthly, and is subject to a statutory cap. Burial expenses are another potential benefit. The burial expense benefit is currently capped at $10,000.
