Fatal Accident Compensation Claims

A fatal accident involving a loved one is a shocking and heartbreaking experience. While there will never be enough money to fully compensate you for the pain you are experiencing, receiving compensation for a fatal accident may help relieve some of your financial stress and free up your mind to concentrate on more essential matters.

Who’s entitled to fatal injury compensation?

If you were a dependent of a person who passed away in a fatal accident that was brought on by the negligence of a third party, you have the right to file a claim for compensation. A dependent may be defined as:

  • A surviving spouse or former spouse of the deceased
  • A person who lived with the deceased for a minimum of two years prior to their death
  • Biological or adopted children, grandchildren, and other descendants of the deceased
  • Any parents, grandparents, or anyone with parental responsibilities for the deceased
  • Any other close relatives including any siblings, aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews

Types of Fatal Accidents

Sadly, there are a wide range of events that might cause someone to pass away. They are frequently brought on by someone else’s negligence. Some of the most common cases we deal with include:

What can I claim compensation for?

Depending on the circumstances of the catastrophic accident that caused the loss of your loved one and the effects it had on you and your family, you can be entitled to different amounts of compensation. Compensation can typically be awarded for the following:

  • Pain and suffering the deceased experienced before their death
  • Loss of income of benefits experienced during the time between the deceased accident and death
  • Financial losses, for example funeral expenses you had to pay for the deceased
  • Loss of services which may cover nursing or care services provided to the deceased and paid for by you
