A Sensitive Solicitors Service for Fatal Accident Claims

Some accidents result in the death of the victim. Or, deaths occur as a consequence of industrial diseases or medical negligence.

Either way, fatal accidents shatter families and cause financial hardship. In these cases, the claim survives for the benefit of the victim’s Estate.

In appropriate cases, we can recover compensation for the victim’s surviving spouse or partner and dependants.

If you are affected by a fatal accident within your family make sure you understand the options available to you. This will help you claim the appropriate compensation for yourself and family members.

Family members are often forced to respond to enquiries from a coroner after a death in the family occurs. They may also have to attend a coroner’s inquest.

It is important to contact our legal team early enough to assist you with the inquest process. It is also helpful if we can attend the inquest to listen to the evidence and to represent your interests.

In fatal accident claims, it is necessary to gain a Grant of Representation, either Probate or Letters of Administration. This document is available from the court before the claim concludes.
