Everything Has Happened Suddenly

The unexpected loss of a loved one is news no one ever wants to hear. If your loved one was a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist, you could be eligible to claim if your loss was as a result of someone else’s negligence.

We at Direct Solicitors know that having to process and deal with the death of a loved one is traumatic and can be very overwhelming, no one should have to deal with the aftermath of someone else’s negligence alone.

Although compensation will not even begin to numb the pain and loss you are feeling, it can go towards helping you rebuild your financial security and help gain stability after the loss of your loved one.

Am I Eligible To Make A Fatal Accident Claim For The Loss Of My Loved One?

Many people are unsure about their rights and eligibility when it comes to compensation.

Our legal advice team is trained and experienced and here to help you gain the understanding you need, answer any questions you have and tell you if you are eligible to make a claim. We will speak with you on a no-obligation basis, so there is no pressure to make a claim.

In order for us to understand the situation, we will need to gain information such as when, where and how the accident occurred and who was at fault.

If the passing away of your loved one due to an accident has happened in the last three years and it wasn’t their fault then it is likely we can help you. Understandably, you may not want to speak with anyone yet, but we’re here to help you when you are ready and if you decide you want to proceed with a compensation claim we can guide you through the entire process and ensure your claim is dealt with by one of our specialist solicitors who has years of experience with a proven success rate.

What Can I Be Compensated For?

Once your compensation has been paid to you it is yours to use it on what you choose.

When negotiating your compensation, your solicitor will try to include as many aspects that will have been affected due to the accident and loss such as:

• Care cost, this could have been for your loved one before they passed away or for your child, if you were needed elsewhere and had to pay for care for them
• Loss of earnings, this can also include future loss of earnings if it is your partner that has passed away
• Funeral costs
• Treatment costs
• Travel costs

The above are examples and each case will have its own circumstances. Once you have appointed a solicitor they will be able to discuss this with you in further detail and get a better understanding of all your associated losses.
