    Wrongful death claims arise when a person dies because of another party's fault, allowing dependants to claim financial loss and, in some cases, funeral expenses and bereavement damages under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. A solicitor in this area handles the pursuer’s claim, gathering evidence of fault and causation, calculating dependency losses, valuing funeral and bereavement damages, and drafting and serving the claim through the appropriate court process, often in the High Court or county court. They coordinate with insurers, medical records providers, and the bereaved family to build a substantiated case and progress the claim through steps such as disclosure and settlement negotiations or court hearings.

    “I was in a fatal RTC where I unfortunately lost my best friend, and obtained permanent injuries. I was searching for a no win no fee to help me get some support from this. I one night, was scrolling on TikTok, where an ad came up for Personal Injury Claim, I put in my details but thought nothing of it, this was around 12.00pm. By 9am the next day, the head of Personal Injury was on the phone to me with a fine tooth comb trying to understand my situation. I was asked so many questions, the more the better, and everything was explained to me so clearly. I felt listened to and heard. From then on, I knew this company would be the best fit for me. And I was right. I have never had to question communication, timescales. I feel that all staff at Taylor Emmet are amazing at what they do - so well spoken, top tier communication, even sometimes just to say there was no update. Taylor Emmet have helped me in ways that no one else would or could. I am now able to look forward to what comes ahead in my life and not dwell o much on the past. I am so grateful for all their time, effort and care because I am so certain that they do care. At a time where I felt so alone and lost, these guys have pulled through and went above and beyond. I will always be so grateful. John, Rachel and Olivia, thank you so so much. You’re all a real treasure.”
