Dead people don't get comp

Posted on September 23, 2008 by Jody Nathan

Layman was injured on the job. She was awarded money. The employer appealed. While it was pending, Layman died. The award was affirmed and then the lawyer sought to have the award certified. The comp court told the employer to pay the money to the estate. This was appealed and reversed. Neither the estate, nor the p.r., was a party to the proceedings. the court had no authority to require payment to a non party.
