Not to offer light duty and then terminate an injured employee is not only poor risk management, it flies in the face of doing what's right. The law states his dependants are entitled to benefits if the suicide is causally related to the injury. I can see no other reason why he would have killed himself except for the fact he was injured and subsequently fired. As a matter of fact, I would have also brought a wrongful termination claim against the company. This employer got what they deserved.
