Survivor Benefits

Survivor benefits in workers' compensation law provide financial support to the dependents of a worker who has died due to a work-related injury or illness. These benefits typically include payments to the deceased worker's spouse, children, or other designated beneficiaries to help cover lost income and support ongoing living expenses. The specific amount and duration of these benefits can vary by state law, but they aim to assist families in coping with the financial impact of losing their loved one while ensuring they have some relief during a difficult time.
