Law firms ranked by client reviews
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.
