Fatal Accidents

It is an unfortunate fact that people do die in accidents and leave behind devastated family members and loved ones. 

Making a claim will obviously not be the first thing those loved ones think of but in some cases the compensation will be essential for the family to carry on after the death.

If the fatal accident was someone else's fault, then the dependant family of the deceased may be able to make a fatal injury compensation claim.

Those falling within the category of dependants are:

• A husband or wife, or former husband or wife of the deceased.
• A civil partner or former civil partner of the deceased.
• A person who was living with the deceased as husband or wife for at least two years prior to the death.
• A parent or other dependant of the deceased.
• A person who was treated by the deceased as his or her parent.
• A child or other dependant of the deceased.
• A person, who in the case of a marriage to which the deceased was at any time a party, was treated by the deceased as a child of the family in relation to that marriage.
• A person who is a brother, sister, uncle, aunt niece, nephew or cousin of the deceased.
