When a workplace accident results in the tragic loss of an employee, Death and Survivor Benefits under Workers’ Compensation Insurance provide critical financial support to the employee’s dependents. This coverage ensures that families receive the assistance they need to recover financially after losing a primary source of income due to a job-related injury or illness.
The benefit typically covers funeral and burial expenses, as well as ongoing income replacement payments to surviving spouses, children, or other eligible dependents.
