Bereavement damages in England cover a small, fixed sum payable to certain close relatives of a person who has died as a result of another’s negligence, under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. A solicitor helps identify eligible dependants, gather evidence of dependency and relationship, and assess any funeral expenses or loss of financial support and companionship. They then prepare and pursue the claim to the relevant court, typically handling correspondence with insurers and, if needed, presenting the case in court to secure the statutory damages.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The award is a defined sum with strict eligibility rules and timelines. A solicitor’s role includes ensuring the correct parties claim, assembling evidence of the deceased’s earnings and the dependants’ reliance, and navigating any early settlement offers that arise, all within the statutory framework to protect a dependant’s position if the claim proceeds to court.

This firm helped us battle with the NHS. At all times they kept us informed and were very proactive in pursuing the claim. It took a few years, which wasn't their fault, but we won in the end

Superb services received from Mr Heselden and his secretary. I was kept Iin the loop at all times. Communication was brilliant. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. All questions were answers quickly. Nothing was too much trouble. The best legal services I used.
