WC Benefits. An employee or their dependents can receive workers' compensation benefits for an injury or death arising out of and in the course of employment. The employer or their insurance carrier pays for necessary and reasonable medical treatment, loss of wages during the period of rehabilitation and when documented, benefits for permanent disability.
The amount of death benefits that the deceased employeeâs family may be entitled to depends on whether the family members were wholly dependent or partially dependent on the deceased worker at the time of the accident which caused death. The Workersâ Compensation Commission (WCC) determines all questions of partial or total dependency based on the facts of the case that existed at the time of the accidental injury or occupational disease that caused the death.
