Fatal Accident Claims

At Accident Claim Helpdesk, we offer a discreet professional approach when considering your claim for compensation, in cases where a fatal accident has occurred as a result of negligence. We understand the trauma you suffer when a loved one has died and handle your claim with the utmost respect.

If you are a child who has lost their parent or an adult who has lost their bread winning spouse then compensation is essential and certainly necessary

Accident Claim Helpdesk offer a no-win-no-fee scheme, under which there is nothing to pay towards our charges if the claim does not succeed.

A fatal accidents claim is handled in two areas:

• The pain and suffering of the deceased up to the date of death. With this aspect of the claim you can also include for example funeral expenses and costs associated with grants of probate. As a dependant, you can bring a claim under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. Under this Act, you can claim for example for loss of financial support which had been previously provided (or in the case of children for the loss of services of the deceased parent).
• In addition to the claim for dependency you can also claim what is called a Statutory Bereavement Award, which is a fixed amount of compensation for your bereavement.

Let Accident Claim Helpdesk use their expertise to guide you through the complex process of bringing a claim, thus ensuring that you receive a fair compensation award at this difficult time.
