When dealing with any serious injury claim we must establish who was at fault. Fatal accident claims can sometimes be difficult as there is a lot more information needed in order for us to gain a full understanding of what happened. Once we have a full understanding of the circumstances, we can then determine what compensation you and your family may be entitled to.
We usually begin our fatal accident claim investigation by asking you to supply the relevant information about how the accident happened and what was found at any inquest. We will also need to know about how many living relatives the person had and who was financially dependent on them. It will be important to know if they were married and whether they had children. If they were not married, we will need to know if they had a civil partner or if they lived with a partner for over three years before they died. Details of their occupation and earnings will also be relevant to the claim.
If you are unable to provide all of the information or evidence we ask for in the first instance, don’t worry. We will help you to gather it along the way.
