To achieve the research aims, the relevant literature and legal articles were consulted. Approach: The analytical descriptive approach. The results showed that there were differences in the positions of the jurists and their attitudes, and their opinions differed regarding the compensation of the heirs of the victim as a result of the death of their heir due to the traffic accident.
