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.
