Fatal Accidents

Fatal Accident Claim Solicitors

Any type of accident can sadly lead to fatal injury . This is extremely distressing for loved ones and relatives and death can have considerable financial implications.

A claim is based on the criteria for the type of accident that caused the fatal injury. However, if death is instantaneous, there will be no injury claim as such.

There are still fatal accident claims that can be brought on behalf of the deceased’s family. These include the following:-

A bereavement claim by a surviving spouse
A dependency claim by a surviving spouse, partner, and children
A claim for costs of funeral expenses incurred

These are complex and sensitive fatal accidents and you need a solicitor who you can trust to help you. We have the expertise to handle these claims.

Our reviews

Louise, gave me a first class service from start to finish. I got to know her a little bit over the many years my case took to complete. Louise was friendly and approachable at all times, she put a lot of time and effort into the process. She got a very good outcome, which I don’t think I would ever of got from anybody else. I would highly recommend Louise and the company to everyone I know.

Thank you to Alison Hurton and her team who successfully dealt with my compensation claim. It resulted in me receiving a substantial compensation package. I will certainly use their services again should the need arise.

I met Simon over 5 years ago, during the worst time of my life. From day one, I have been shown nothing but respect, reassurance and a listening ear. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He is kind hearted, patient and the best at what he does. I have felt very safe knowing that my case was being looked after by him. My recovery has been difficult and felt impossible at times, but Simon has been there every step of the way and I cannot thank him enough for this. Every part of the process of the last 5 years has been explained to me in great detail, leaving me with little to no questions. Having said this, if I ever did have any questions, I knew I could ask Simon and receive a response the same day. Simon introduced me to Laura, who is a credit to Sills & Betteridge. Every interaction with Laura has been nothing but outstanding and I have been so incredibly lucky to have 2 amazing solicitors working with me. It was a bittersweet moment the day my claim came to an end. Simon has been a constant in my journey since my accident and shown me an immense safety net. I will absolutely never forget Simon and Laura, and I will thank them for as long as I live. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much for working with me on this crazy, sometimes upsetting journey. It has been an absolute pleasure.
