 DEATH B4 SETTLEMENT
QUESTION: My life partner/roommate of 15 yrs. does everything for me Everything! I couldnt walk for 6 mos (both legs crushed at work). She did it all; paperwork for all agencies, all communications with attorney, doctors, PT, meds, drove, cooked, cleaned, washed, shopped, bathed, etc. Now, I've been diagnosed with Stage IV Colorectal Cancer (not related). If I die b4 I settle and if I name her in my will as my sole beneficiary can she continue with the suit?

RE: DEATH B4 SETTLEMENT
most likely not.......however different states different rules....ask your lawyer...
;)Workmans comp is not a road you want to travel alone.You need a good lawyer,a great family and good friends to lean on.If you make it thru without losing everything you have worked for all your life,you have come out ahead of the game.....

RE: DEATH B4 SETTLEMENT
the issue is not whether you are dependent upon them.
it's whether they can be considered your dependent. there is no one answer for every state. http://www.workerscompensation.com/forum...?tid=10146 |

Would you happen to know the law for us? in california all temporary and permanent disability end upon the employees death. however accrued payments would be payable to their dependents. |
