Who can bring a claim for fatal injury compensation?
When someone dies following a serious injury, the law recognises what their family has lost. Their husband, wife or partner can often claim, along with children, parents and other relatives who have relied on them financially.
A claim can also be made on behalf of their estate, usually by the executor of their will. This can cover any pain they suffered before they died, along with funeral costs and other related expenses.

Our experienced team will be on hand to support you throughout the claim process.
Supporting you when you need us
After a sudden death, there may be an inquest, and sometimes a police or Health and Safety Executive investigation. This sometimes feels overwhelming. We can represent your family at the inquest and help you get the answers you deserve.
Your claim can run alongside these processes, and we’ll handle every detail on your behalf. Where liability is admitted, we can request interim payments to ease any financial pressures. Throughout these stages, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
