Where a loved
one is killed in an accident, compensation is
the last thing on the mind of the family. Proper
representation should not be. We have represented
and continue to represent many families who have
been touched by bereavement through accidents.
We deal with the inquests on behalf of the family,
advise the family on the law surrounding prosecutions
of the person/persons who have caused the accidents
and ultimately advise them on what compensation
the family/dependants are entitled to.
Examples of some of the fatal accidents we have
dealt with/are dealing with within the last 12
months are listed below:
- Both parents killed on a motorbike leaving
two teenage children being looked after by their
grandparents.
- Car accident killed mother of a two year old
who is now being looked after by a member of
the mother’s family.
- Motorbike accident where a 17 year old was
riding his bike and a car pulled out of a side
road killing the rider and seriously injuring
the pillion passenger.
- Car accident where the car lost control and
hit a bridge killing a 17 year old passenger
in the vehicle.
- Client on a bicycle and a motorbike lost control
of his vehicle hitting the bicycle killing the
rider who was married with two children.
Fatal accidents are stressful times for the
family without worrying about the legal side of
the situation. Our firm are specialists in dealing
with all aspects of fatal accidents and we represent
the family including at the Coroner's inquest.
We have also represented the families in making
representation and in meetings with the Crown
Prosecution Service over wha,t if any, charges
should be brought against the person that has
killed their family member.
Please contact us for further advice from sympathetic
experts in this difficult and traumatic time.
