For an injury in 2013, resulting in death, reasonable expenses of the ER's burial are allowed up to:

• A. $2000
• B. $5000
• C. $10,000
• D. 12,000

Answer: (C)

In workers’ compensation, burial expenses following a work-related death are treated as a specific benefit with a statutory cap. For an injury that occurred in 2013 and resulted in death, the employer (or insurer) can reimburse reasonable burial costs up to ten thousand dollars. That means the maximum payable for burial expenses is ten thousand, and any amount beyond that would not be covered as burial expense. If burial costs are less, the actual cost is paid up to that ten thousand limit. The other figures are simply lower limits or exceed the cap: two thousand or five thousand would be under the maximum, while twelve thousand would exceed the allowed cap.
