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.
