This area covers claims arising when someone dies in an accident or through someone else’s fault, where the dependants or the estate seek compensation. It includes pursuing damages under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976, along with loss of financial dependence, loss of services, and funeral expenses. A solicitor in this field investigates liability, gathers medical and accident evidence, identifies potential defendants, and negotiates with insurers or pursuers to secure a settlement or pursues court action. The process depends on the facts of the death and the family’s financial losses.
