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.

Tagged solicitor Ian Rees
Its never easy dealing with a claim related to a deceased loved one. We were full of trepidation at the prospect but felt we should proceed, not only to honour my father but also to secure what ever financial security we could for my elderly mother after his death. My father was exposed to asbestos in the 1950's as a young factory worker. It wasn't until he was in his 80's that he started to experience symptoms. As a family, we rallied around to make his remaining time as good as possible, however, Mesothelioma finally took him from us. It was a year after his passing we decided to seek answers and initiate a claim against my father's former employer. I must say, having approached a number of legal firms who clearly were either not willing or unable to represent us, it was such a relief to finally speak to someone who not only understood the complexities of such cases but also had a clear track record of success in this specialised area of law. Ian Rees and his team were exellent from the very outset. In my dealings with them, I felt they put us as a family 'front & centre' and that our thoughts and grief were accomodated and repected. We were never rushed and were always given time to reflect on and digest information in our own time. Documents and detailed information were clearly presented making it easier for us to understand. Ian helped us to navigate the process with sensitivity and compassion with open lines of comunication and helpful expert advice. If you are searching for a solicitor to progress your claim, I cannot recommend Ian Rees, his team and JCP enough. They suceeded for us for which we are truly grateful.

Tagged solicitor Natasha Golding
Natasha started representing me in early 2025. I was a pedestrian involved in a RTC. What has been a very tiresome 3 years, Natasha made it that little bit easier. Keeping me updated with weekly emails/phone calls and also, explaining things in further detail when I did not understand certain terminology. Natasha was very empathetic, which made this process a lot easier. I just want to say a massive thank you Natasha, the hard work you put in did not go unnoticed.

Tagged solicitor Felix Couchman
Experts in recovering damages. I have instructed this firm for some years and have never been let down. The slowness I imagine is because they can get busy. They have a strong reputation and an excellent track record of success, at least for me. I am very happy to wholeheartedly recommend them. Felix particularly is very diligent and amazing to have as an advocate. However - if you have alternative options, go elsewhere, I need his time and prefer him not to be booked and committed elsewhere.
