Losing a loved one to a work-related injury or illness is devastating, leaving families to face not only emotional grief but also overwhelming financial challenges. Medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of income can add to an already difficult time. If your family member passed away due to a workplace accident or occupational illness, you may be entitled to death benefits under Florida’s workers’ compensation system.
Surviving spouses can receive weekly benefits based on the worker’s average wage. They may also qualify for educational benefits to help with future employment.
Minor children are entitled to weekly benefits until they turn 18. Disabled children may continue receiving benefits beyond that age if they cannot support themselves.
Children who are full-time students between 18 and 22 can continue receiving benefits to help with educational expenses.
Children with physical or mental disabilities may receive lifelong benefits if they are unable to earn a living due to their condition.
If the worker had no spouse or children, financially dependent parents, siblings, or grandchildren may qualify for benefits.
