Death Benefits

The surviving spouse or dependant children of a person who has died as a result of an automobile accident, are entitled to benefits. The benefits cover funeral expenses and provide for counseling services. A surviving spouse may also be entitled to a bi-weekly or a lump sum benefit payment based on the deceased’s income or an education benefit.

Depending on the circumstances, a lump sum benefit may be paid to each of the surviving dependants, parents or the estate.
