Calculating Financial Loss

A question many survivors often ask is, how is financial loss calculated. In California, dependent death benefits are calculated based on the number of total and partial dependents. The compensation covers funeral costs and burial expenses up to a certain amount. There is also compensation calculated for loss of wages, and these funds are typically paid until the dependent spouse dies or remarries. Children often receive these benefits until they reach the age of 18.

There is no set amount for a workers compensation death claims but this helps you prepare for your case. Insurance companies will look to try and deny you benefits that you are entitled to after your loved one has passed away. Don’t attempt to argue with the insurance company until you consult with a Santa Clarita death claims attorney who will be able to guide you on how to properly handle insurance companies and the former employer.
