Other dependants
Read excerpts from the WCB’s governing legislation on compensation to other dependants of a worker who has died as a result of a workplace injury.
Compensation to dependants
Other dependants
86 (1) The board may recognize persons other than a spouse or children as dependants of a deceased worker and may award a payment in recognition of the pecuniary loss that the board may determine.
(2) A payment pursuant to subsection (1) is to continue only so long as, in the opinion of the board, it might reasonably have been expected that, had the worker lived, the worker would have continued to contribute to the support of the dependants.
(3) Compensation payable pursuant to subsection (1) may be made wholly or partly in a lump sum or in any other form that the board, in the circumstances, considers most suitable.
