The article did not indicate whether this man was married or whether he had children. If he left dependants, they will be entitled to Georgia \u201cdeath<\/a> benefits\u201d under the Georgia Workers\u2019 Compensation<\/a> Act; although the benefits are pitiful and limited.

If she re-marries or cohabitates with someone, the weekly benefits will be suspended. In addition, the employer\/insurer will have to pay his funeral bill but only up to $7,500.00. If he left dependent minor children, they will be entitled to share in the weekly benefits; however, there are lots of rules that apply to that situation.<\/p>\n
