Bereavement damages are a specific sum recoverable by certain close relatives when someone dies as a result of another’s fault, under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. A solicitor advising on this area explains who may claim, the amount (awarded to spouses or civil partners and certain dependants), and the process to obtain it. A solicitor prepares and files the claim, gathers death certificates and dependency evidence, negotiates with the defendant’s insurers, and handles any Court of Session or county court proceedings if needed. The claim sits alongside any wider fatal accident action.
The award is intended to recognise bereavement and dependency losses; if missed or miscalculated, dependent relatives may lose a potential remedy. A solicitor's professional safeguards include regulatory accountability, client money protection, and proper handling of the claim within time limits and Court rules.

Tagged solicitor Leonie Millard
Leonie Millard is an outstanding solicitor who has dedicated her career to helping clients who gives her clients a voice when they might not have one themselves due to their disability. She is very responsive in responding to queries about my relatives case and replies to e-mails and phone-calls very quickly which is an excellent trait in a solicitor. She was very compassionate, caring, and committed to the outcome of my relatives case which was a very good outcome and secured justice for her. Leonie's service over the past four years has been absolutely perfect and she is supported by an excellent team of Carole Purdie (her secretary) who is on the ball and does her best to support client queries too. I would rate Forbes Solicitors 5/5 stars and I can't identify any recommendations on how they improve their services because they provided a consistent perfect service over the past four years!

When I required a solicitor for a fatality accident I was guided to Thompson's Solicitors, from the very first meeting I found them to be very compassionate and knowledgeable in the assistance I required, I would highly recommend this company of solicitors with their help and assistance in all legal matters.

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Lush
I cannot thank my solicitor enough for the support, compassion, and professionalism she has shown throughout my loss of dependency claim. From the very beginning, she treated me with genuine empathy and understanding during what has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and explained everything clearly and patiently. Her dedication, attention to detail, and determination gave me confidence that my case was in the best possible hands. What stood out most was her kindness and sensitivity. She never lost sight of the personal impact of my loss and always handled matters with the utmost care and respect. I am truly grateful for all of her hard work and support, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a solicitor who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely compassionate.

Tagged solicitor Richard Wilson
I would highly recommend Richard and his team for the way they handled my personal injury claim following my accident in July 2022. The claim was unfortunately dragged out by the other side for a considerable amount of time, which was frustrating, but Richard remained professional and supportive throughout. He kept me informed at every stage, explained everything clearly and was always available whenever I had questions or needed advice. Over the four years that the claim took to reach its conclusion, I always felt that Richard was working hard on my behalf and had my best interests at heart. He dealt with the legal side of things professionally and made sure I understood what was happening throughout the process. In the end, Richard achieved a result that I was very happy with, and I am extremely grateful for all the work he put into my case. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Richard to anyone who needs a solicitor following an accident. He is professional, approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about getting the best possible outcome for his clients. Thank you, Richard, for all your hard work and support over the last four years. It is very much appreciated

I had a great experience working with Bond Turner for my personal injury claim. After my accident, the entire team handled everything professionally, kept me updated at every stage, and made what could have been a very stressful process simple and straightforward. They were always available to answer my questions and fought hard to get a great result for my case.
