Tragically, many fatal accidents occur each year on our roads, at work and in other circumstances. These accidents have a devastating effect on the families and friends of the accident victims, depriving families of their loved ones and often causing great financial hardship due to the loss of income and services to those dependent upon the accident victim.
Fatal accident claims are often complex. Claims are brought on behalf of the Estate of the Deceased under:
The Fatal Accidents Act 1976 for:
- The Statutory bereavement award (currently in the sum of £10,000).
- Funeral Expenses
- Loss of dependency of dependents, including spouses and children, on financial support and services.
The Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934 for:
- Damages for any pain suffering and loss of amenity suffered by the Deceased arising from the accident.
- Any loss and expense incurred by the Deceased between the date of the accident and date of death, caused by the accident.
- Funeral Expenses (as an alternative to a claim under the above act).
