Fatal Accident Claims
Fortunately, accidents resulting in death are very rare. However, when they do occur they are devastating for family and dependants. Coming to terms with the death of a loved one is always difficult but when the death has been needlessly caused by the neglect of another there is an added poignancy. Cases must be handled sensitively and the ability to meet face to face with a Solicitor you can trust is absolutely essential.
If the deceased left dependants then the assessment of any compensation is likely to be complicated but basically it will entail a determination of the level and nature of support that the deceased would have provided to their dependants were it not for the accident. A monetary value is then placed upon this.
In addition Parliament has passed laws which provide that fixed amounts of compensation shall be paid for so-called “bereavement”. These laws have long been criticised as setting compensation levels too low to reflect the loss suffered. Through our long-standing involvement with the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers we continue to lobby for a better deal for the bereaved.
