Inquests and fatal accident compensation claims
Our negligence solicitors pursue claims for the families of people who die following as a result of the negligence of others and also represent families at inquests into deaths following negligence.
Our fatal accident solicitors specialise in getting the best compensation settlements in claims on behalf of the families following deaths caused by negligence. Our experience in representing bereaved families means that we can ensure that claims are investigated thoroughly and promptly by specialist solicitors, who are used to dealing in a sensitive and professional manner with families who have lost a loved one. We can ensure that the family’s questions are answered through the inquest or through the subsequent claim. We are able to ensure that the inquest complies with humans rights legislation so that the family can be confident that a full investigation has taken place.
We're here to help
We are often approached by families who do not know where to turn after the death of a family member. They are concerned that negligence or medical treatment may have caused or contributed to the death and about how the family will cope from a practical and financial point of view. Many of our clients also wish to prevent other families having to go through the same tragic events.
We have clients all over the country and are pleased to visit families in their homes. We feel that it is important to speak to our clients face to face so you feel comfortable with your solicitor and so your solicitor gets to know you and can better understand your individual needs.
Through other specialist departments within the firm we can help you secure all the assistance that you are entitled to and ensure that any compensation will be managed in the most advantageous way possible. We can provide practical and legal assistance in dealing with a grant of probate. You can find further information about the different ways we can help you in our Bereavement Guide.
