When a fatal accident occurs, the surviving dependents of the deceased worker have a right to receive death benefits under the Act. The Virginia Workers Compensation Act provides 500 weeks of compensation for those family members who were totally dependent upon the deceased worker, and 400 weeks of compensation for those  family members who were only partially dependent. In any death case, a lawyer should be consulted.  The attached form is applicable to all death cases after October 1, 2008.  fatal-award-agreement
