Fatal accidents

We have extensive experience of dealing with claims where the victim of an accident or workplace illness died at the time or has since died. We recognise that these claims require sympathetic handling and we have a proven track record of success with these cases even though it may be difficult to establish what happened. We can pursue claims for injuries and expenses suffered by the victim before their death, can recover funeral expenses and obtain compensation for the victim's family. We will be happy to advise you about the special rules that apply in these cases.

  • We successfully acted for a widow whose husband was killed in a car crash in which she was also injured.
  • We represented the widow of a mechanic who was crushed to death when a bus he was working underneath rolled over him. She received a significant award of compensation.
