The judge said the law provides that families of deceased workers are entitled to receive compensation of R$50,000, which must be divided equally between spouses and dependents. In respect of the son, according to the law, a share calculated by multiplying R $ 10 thousand by the number of whole and incomplete years that were missing, at the date of the father’s death, for him to turn 21. Diehl concluded that the boy was entitled to R$50,000, considering that he was 16 years old at the time of his death.
