    Are you entitled to make a claim?

    The unexpected loss of a family member in a car accident is truly devastating for both family and friends.  Our fatal car accident claims team understand that the loss of a loved one can leave some families struggling to cope both emotionally and financially. No amount of financial compensation can make up for the loss of a loved one however, a fatal injury compensation claim can help you make vital adjustments to life, both in the short and long-term.

    With every new enquiry, we offer a free and no obligation initial phone consultation, during which we will ask you a series of questions to help us understand how the accident happened and listen to everything you want to tell us about your experience.

    The questions that we will ask you include:

    • The date and location of the accident
    • How the accident happened
    • Who was involved in the accident
    • Whether someone was at fault for the accident
    • How the accident has impacted your life

    We know that talking about an accident which has caused the death of a loved one can be distressing, which is why we attend clients in their own homes, rather than on the phone.

    We regularly advise clients that if the fatal car accident happened in England or Wales and the date of the accident was less than 3 years ago, then it is likely that we will be able to advise you on a claim.

    The law involving fatal car accident claims

    In the UK there is a legal act which covers Fatal Accidents called The Fatal Accidents Act 1976. Under the provisions of this law, the dependents of someone killed in an accident which was not their fault are entitled to make a claim for financial compensation.

    The Fatal Accidents Act 1976 defines a ‘dependent’ as:

    • A spouse or former spouse.
    • Someone cohabiting with the deceased as husband, wife or civil partner for a minimum of two years prior to the accidental death.
    • Children by blood plus adopted children and those who become a legal part of the family via marriage or civil partnership.
    • Parents or older relatives, including grandparents, great grandparents and those acting as a parent, such as a step-parents or a guardian.
    • Immediate family like brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews and aunts or uncles.

    You may also be able to claim a statutory award for bereavement, under the Fatal Accidents Act, which is paid by the other side’s insurance company. This payment is made to the surviving spouse or a parent, regardless of any dependency claim.

    If it was your partner who suffered a fatal accident, you could make a fatal road traffic claim as a dependent if you were partially or entirely financially reliant on them. To discuss this in more detail, please call our Fatal Accident team now on 01507 609027.
