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.
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.

JMW has set up a Personal Injury Trust for me, to make sure the compensation award I've received is protected. Paul Gotch's work on this has been really helpful; the process has been straightforward, problem-free and I've been left without any complaints. The advice I've received has been top notch and it's meant that I can make the most of my compensation award. "

Tagged solicitor Jeremy Horton
I cannot express enough gratitude to Brachers law firm, and especially to Jeremy Horton, for their exceptional work in successfully settling the asbestos-related claim for my late husband, Albert. From our very first contact, Jeremy and his team demonstrated remarkable professionalism, expertise, and, most importantly, genuine compassion during what was an incredibly difficult time for me and my family. Navigating the complexities of an asbestos claim after losing Albert felt overwhelming, but Brachers guided us through every step with clarity and unwavering support. Jeremy Horton was an outstanding lead solicitor. His depth of knowledge regarding asbestos litigation was immediately apparent, and he meticulously handled every detail of the case. He was always approachable, patient in answering our many questions, and kept us informed with regular updates, ensuring we understood the progress at every stage. His strategic approach and dedication ultimately led to a successful and satisfactory settlement, which has brought us a much-needed sense of closure and security. The entire team at Brachers operated with efficiency and sensitivity, making a challenging process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Their commitment to achieving justice for Albert was evident throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Brachers law firm to anyone seeking legal assistance, particularly for complex and sensitive cases like asbestos claims. Their expertise, combined with their compassionate client care, truly sets them apart. Thank you, Jeremy Horton and Brachers, for everything you have done for us.
