My brother worked in a rubber hose production company as a works manager, but the company did not deduct any PF/ESI at the time of his returning. Unfortunately, he died in an accident. Can we (my brother's wife) get any compensation from the company? My brother worked from 2014 until his death on 24.07.2018.

The only legal question that remains is whether the deceased was covered under the Employee Compensation Act 1923. It is not likely, but you may check Schedule II of the Act on the scope of the Act.
As this was a traffic accident, the motor vehicle compensation is substantial and shall be pursued. Is there no insurance policy or death relief scheme of the company?

Beyond accepting the point mentioned by Mr. KK!HR, one more thing to be noted is if the employer has contributed to the Employee Compensation Act, whether the employee (your brother) has provided the nominee details in the policy or not also matters. If not, the management may not provide compensation to others beyond legal heirs or nominees.

My brother's company does not provide any insurance coverage for their employees. I am inquiring about the legal rights of my brother's wife as his heir. My question is whether there is any legal possibility for my brother's wife to claim compensation from the company. The motor vehicle insurance claim in PA is only 1 lakh, and she also has children aged 6 and 11 years.

The employer is bound to pay the compensation from his sources if he (the deceased/your brother) died while coming from the duty as stated by you. Please approach the Management (your brother's company) immediately. If they have not responded, you can approach the Labor Department for necessary action. They will lodge a case of Workman's Compensation against your brother's employer.
