“Until death occurs, the rights of dependents to compensation are inchoate rights contingent in nature and entirely dependent upon the employee’s death as a result of the injury or disease. As long as the rights remain inchoate, they are subject to future legislation. When death occurs, the rights then become fixed, and it is for that reason that the law in effect at that time governs.”
