We can help you claim on behalf of a deceased relative. The untimely death of a loved one is a personal tragedy and claiming compensation where you believe someone else was at fault may not be the first thing on your mind.
So you need an understanding, sympathetic specialist fatal accident solicitor to help you maintain financial stability and ease the financial worry and stress that comes with losing a spouse or partner.
The Dispute Resolution and Litigation Team at FDR has considerable experience and expertise in working for grieving families who have lost a loved one as result of an accident which was not their fault. Our guarantee to grieving families is to:
- Settle your claim as quickly as possible and
- Settle your claim on the best terms as possible and
- Offer a sympathetic approach
We do this by combining expert legal advice with guidance and practical support. That could include working work with a variety of other specialists such as medical experts, health professionals, counsellors and independent financial advisors (IFAs).
UK-leading legal expertise
All fatal accident claims are handled by our Dispute Resolution and Litigation team. This team is headed by Stephen Lawson who has unique experience in connection with fatal accident claims as a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and The Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP).
Fatal accident claims are governed by unique rules affecting the right to bring claims including the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934 and the Fatal Accident Act of 1976. Our clients have the assurance that the FDR team has specialist knowledge and experience in these areas.
Recovering fair compensation
We are committed to helping you make a successful claim and help reduce the risk of others losing their lives unnecessarily and prematurely. Individual rights are breached far too often – 180 workers were killed at work during the past year and over 2500 people were killed on the highway. We believe that when these rights are breached injured victims or their dependants should be entitled to full and proper compensation.
If you have lost a love one as a result of a road traffic collision, at work or through any reason which was not their fault speak to Stephen or one of his expert team. We cannot bring back a loved one but we can try and help make life easier for you by helping you to achieve the maximum award.
