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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The consequence of the decision can be financially life-changing for dependants, including loss of financial support and funeral costs; the solicitor's role is to secure legally recognised damages and to ensure proceedings progress within strict time limits, with professional accountability and client protections. The solicitor also ensures correct application of bereavement damages and dependency calculations, backed by professional conduct and regulatory oversight.

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.
