Workers killed while doing their job in foreign states, states other than their residence and the normal place of business, should see a lawyer to determine in which state or states the dependents are eligible for benefits and what state offers the more generous benefits.

Another worker died this past week. This one while trying to move a mobile home at the Cloverleaf Trailer Park in Moline, Illinois. The worker was from Missouri. This is an example of the type of case where benefits can be paid to the widow or dependent children. The dependents may be eligible from either Missouri or from Illinois, depending on certain facts having to do with the worker's residence and the home office of the employer. Generally speaking a worker sent out of state to work by an in-state company must pay benefits. The question for the widow and children depends upon which state offers the more generous benefits for the longest period of time. This is normally a question that only a lawyer can answer after getting all the facts.
