Claims on behalf of deceased's dependents

The death of a loved one is always a distressing time for families. Where that death occurs because of failings on the part of another the grief can be compounded by anger. Where the loss of the deceased brings sudden financial pressure it can be difficult for families to cope.

In some cases the successful pursuit of a claim helps families to come to terms with their loss and ensures that they have a sense that justice has been done. Compensation for those who were financially or practically dependant upon the deceased may help to bring security and comfort at an uncertain time.

Where death occurs as a result of the fault of another the law allows for certain individuals to seek compensation in respect of the impact upon them. This is a complex area of law on which specialist advice may be required.
