About

A Fatal Accident claim is when someone dies because of another person's negligence or intentional actions. Usually, close family members or dependents of the person who passed away make this type of claim. Dealing with the loss can be very tough emotionally and financially. The aim of getting compensation from a Fatal Accident claim is to help ease the financial burden, giving you the time and support needed to grieve and adapt. According to UK law, the 'Fatal Accidents Act 1976' allows dependents like spouses, children, or parents, as well as those financially dependent on the deceased, to make a claim. It's crucial to file the claim within three years from the date of death or when the cause of death was officially determined. Claimants are mainly eligible for a 'Bereavement Award,' a fixed sum recognized by the government to acknowledge the grief. Currently capped at £15,120, this award is available to those close to the deceased. Additionally, claimants can also request a 'Dependency Claim,' covering financial losses due to the deceased's death. This includes factors like lost income, services, benefits, expected promotions, contributions to the family, and potential future earnings. If the deceased suffered before passing away, a 'Pain and Suffering' claim can be made for that period of suffering. This would have been part of the deceased's claim if they had survived. Making a Fatal Accident claim can be complex and emotionally tough. It's advisable to consult with a qualified personal injury solicitor to guide you through the process, ensuring you receive fair compensation for your tragic loss. However, it's important to understand that while financial compensation can provide some relief, it can't make up for the emotional loss you've experienced.Next steps
