Granting a pension to the deceased’s heirs. It has no effect on the assessment of compensation due as a result of the accident.

Arabic original
تقرير معاش لورثة المتوفي. لا أثر له في تقدير التعويض المستحق من جراء الحادث. علة ذلك: أن المعاش هو التزام في ذمة الجهة المنوط بها صرفه مقابل الاشتراكات التي استأدتها من المتوفي بينما التعويض مصدره الخطأ. ما يستثنى من ذلك. المعاش الاستثنائي بسبب وقوع ذات الفعل الضار.
