My Uncle met an accident & passed away in saudi arabia. The accident was happened when he was in on duty & he had 30+ years of experience in the same company. Please let me know weather his family eligible for any compensation & please give the details of compensation. Many Thanks in advance.
AS stated Death During Work above your uncle is eligible to get compensation in this case it is maximum amount that is 330,000 Saudi Riyal. As your uncle is working in company for such a long time period
Thanks for your valuable reply.
We contacted the company regarding the final settlement but they mentioned that the final settlement amount is 3500 Saudhi Riyals only because the company settled the money to him whenever he comes for an vacation.
And the company mentioned that he is not eligible for “Blood money” compensation also because the saudhi traffic police filed and closed the case against my uncle(means fault with my uncle) .
But the company mentioned that they will go for insurance claim for my uncle.But they mentioned that the claim process will take 5-6 months.
In this scenario Please let me know who will give the compensation whether the company will give the compensation by claiming through insurance or government will give the compensation(Even though the saudhi traffic police closed the case against my uncle(means fault with my uncle)).
In this scenario how much Saudhi Riyals my uncle family will get?
Expecting for your valuable reply.Your reply will give clear picture about the insurance claim or compensation to my uncle family.
Thanks in advance
