A spouse and dependent minor children of a deceased worker may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation death benefits (survivor benefits). These benefits are calculated as a percentage of the average wages of the deceased, in addition to funeral expenses. These benefits may be paid as weekly cash benefits or as a lump sum.

In addition to workers’ comp benefits, it may be possible to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against a negligent property owner, manufacturer or other third party.
