Compensation as a result of death is divided into two distinct parts. The first part relates to compensation for the losses of the deceased. The second part is the compensation for any dependents whose lifestyle has been affected by the loss of a breadwinner.

1. The victim's part includes compensation for pain, suffering and distress however if the victim died quickly or did not regain consciousness no compensation will be awarded for pain and suffering. The victim's financial losses between the date of injury and the date of death, together with the funeral expenses can also be claimed.
2. The dependents part consists of compensation for the loss of the victim's financial support since death and in addition to the dependency compensation a statutory sum for bereavement is payable to the spouse of the deceased or to the parents of a deceased minor.
