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.
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.

I had a really good experience with this WM solicitor, they made everything easy to understand, which helped take a lot of stress off me. They are supportive and quick to respond whenever I had questions. They genuinely cared about my case and wanted the best outcome for me, not just rushing things through. They kept me updated throughout the whole process. Advice was honest and straight forward, which I really appreciated. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to get a fair result, and I'm very happy with how everything was handled. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a PI solicitor.

Tagged solicitor Ian Rees
Excellent working relationship with Mr Rees who was professional, courteous and understanding. He showed sensitivity and compassion during the most difficult of times. We felt fully supported during meetings and lengthy court proceedings. In addition to face to face meetings, we were kept updated at all times via email or phone calls and complex issues were explained in understandable terms. We, as a family, will always be grateful.
