Fatal Injury Claims
A Fatal Injury Claim arises when someone loses their life due to another person’s negligence, misconduct, or accident. Families of the deceased may be entitled to claim compensation, which can help ease financial pressures and recognise the emotional suffering caused by the loss.
These claims are not just about money—they are also about holding those responsible accountable and ensuring that similar incidents are prevented in the future.
No win No fee
Our panel solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s nothing to pay upfront or if your case is unsuccessful. If successful, fees range between 25%–50% + VAT (capped at 30% + VAT for financial claims), depending on the legal assistant, , claim type, and circumstances.
All fees are agreed upfront and detailed in your solicitor’s agreement. We may receive marketing fees for successful referrals, but you’re under no obligation to use our panel solicitors.
