V. VASUDEVAN (LEGAL COUNSEL) 21 December 2010
For a natural death, there shall be no claim under WC/Insurance. However, please check if the workmen is insured under any special medical policy for life. If he is covered by ESI, please check the ESI website for the benefits for the dependants.
Shreyas Zinjarde (Advocate/Consultant) 24 December 2010
It is debatable issue. If the cause of heart attack is directly attributable to the working one might have a good case. If I am not mistaken, and subject to correction Kerala High Court has granted com[ensation in some of the matters.
