Under Florida’s Workers’ Compensation Law, death benefits are payable to the deceased worker’s surviving spouse and/or children, based upon a percentage of the deceased employee’s wages. These calculations, it should be noted, are subject to a maximum cap. A burial allowance is also available to the deceased employee’s family. If you are a qualified dependent of a workplace injury-related death, seeing an experienced worker’s compensation lawyer is critical. To that end, the insurance company must properly determine the correct payments and correctly calculate the qualifying period to ensure you, as the surviving family members of a deceased worker, receive all the worker’s compensation benefits that you are entitled to. Please feel free to call LeavenLaw, your Florida Workers’ compensation law firm to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your deceased loved one’s case.

Compensation For Death

If employee death results from a work-related accident, there are valuable benefits that a qualified dependent is eligible for from the worker’s compensation insurance carrier. As an example, the employer and/or its insurance carrier is liable to pay the deceased worker’s actual funeral expenses up to $7,500.00. Further, the employer and/or its worker’s compensation insurance carrier shall pay the deceased employee’s dependents up to two-thirds of the deceased employee’s average weekly wage depending on the type of dependent that is at issue (spouse, child, parent, etc.). Lastly, the worker’s compensation carrier would be responsible for payment of school expenses of the surviving spouse. In no circumstance, however, would the employer and/or its insurance carrier have to pay the family for the death of an employee more than $150,000.00.
