Hard Choices
No employer ever wants to think about the horrific scenario of an employee being dismembered or fatally wounded. It is hard to even imagine the difficulty of knowing that if things had been different, then the person would be fine and there would not be a family devastated by loss and grief. However, the only thing you can do for them is to make sure that they are taken care of and are not under financial duress.
