Can the company be sued if...

...the employee's cause of death is overfatigue due to very long hours of overtime?

Better consult an actual lawyer for this matter... my take is, it may be plausible pero baka meron nang underlying or pre-existing condition yung victim that may have actually led to his death in the first place at nataong naka-OT sya during the time of his/her death. Remember, some HMO's don't actually cover that. Performing an OT MAY have been one of the contributing or triggering factors pero not necessarily the main cause of death - only an autopsy can prove this.

Magiging questionable din kasi yung lifestyle habits  ng victim so this can be a very tricky case to bring to your counsel. Again, consult an actual lawyer and NOT some "saul goodman" -type.

Can I up this thread? because I think it can be the employee's lack of time management as well? Though of course if you work in a call center there would be mandatory ot's but if it's an ordinary office I think the employee has a fault to that part it's her prerogative if mag oovertime sya right? why sue the company for that?
