We do understand that compensation following a fatal accident is often a secondary thought, but making a claim helps maintain financial stability and relieve the financial worry and stress that comes with losing a bread-winning spouse or partner.

Often a claim out of financial necessity as well as getting to the truth of what happened following a sudden fatal accident tends to be the dominant factors when family dependents instruct solicitors. It’s not just about compensation. Our specialist fatal accident claims team helps the family achieve a sense of justice by taking action against the Defendant to prove fault and to legally represent the family at the INQUEST to help investigate the cause of death.

Who Can Claim Following a Fatal Accident?

Not everyone connected to the deceased can claim compensation following a fatal accident. The law limits the type of people who can claim. The word “family” and “dependants” are used to describe close family ties with the deceased such as children, wife or husband as this group of family members are often the most affected in a fatal accident claim and usually “dependant” upon the deceased.

Therefore the person(s) who can make a fatal accident claim on behalf of the deceased are those close family members who were in some way “dependant” upon the deceased before and at the time of death which include:

Also any person who was living with the deceased as husband or wife immediately before the accident and was doing so for at least two years prior to the accident may also be able to claim.

A fatal accident claim on behalf of the deceased can also be made if the deceased would have been able to claim compensation himself/herself at the time of death.
