22         The Seafarers Act provides for the survival of certain claims for compensation. If an employee suffers an injury resulting in permanent impairment, and the employee dies:
      a)      before a claim for permanent impairment compensation has been made—the employee's legal personal representative may make such a claim (see subsection 64(1) and the definition of 'claimant' in subsection 3(1)); or
      b)      after a claim for permanent impairment compensation has been made—the employee's personal representative may continue with the claim (see subsection 64(2) and the definition of 'claimant' in subsection 3(1)).
