An employee, Mateo Garcia, dies from a work-related accident. He leaves behind a surviving wife and two legitimate children aged 4 and 8, and a dependent mother who relied on him for support. (a) Identify the central doctrine governing entitlement to death benefits in a work-related death scenario under In General – LC, Art. 198. (b) Distinguish the controlling rule for death benefits from disability benefits and state the proper order of dependency. (c) Apply the rule to these facts: who are the proper beneficiaries and why, and how should the benefits be allocated among them; specifically, does the dependent mother have any right given the presence of the wife and the children?

Choose the Best Answer

The surviving wife and legitimate children are the proper beneficiaries; the dependent mother has no right; the benefits should be allocated with the wife receiving the statutory first share and the remainder divided equally among the legitimate children. Only the surviving wife is entitled to death benefits; the two legitimate children and the dependent mother have no right in this situation. The wife gets all the death benefits; the children and mother receive nothing. The dependent mother and the surviving wife are the beneficiaries, with the legitimate children having no claim.
