Yes, a workers compensation claim for benefits can be filed against the company for his death. However, only "dependents" can receive benefits. These are wife, husband, child, mother, father, grandparent, sister, brother mother-in-law and father-in-law. Because you are not married, then you will not be able to file a claim for benefits.
