Fatal Accident Claims

Compensation for Dependants and Families of Victims of Fatal Accidents

Damages & Compensation in Fatal Cases

If you have lost a loved one through a fatal accident, or a work related illness then you may be able to claim compensation. Marc Folgate has over 25 years experience of dealing with incident and accident claims to recover rightful compensation.

In some cases accidents have fatal consequences. If so, a right of claim may survive for:

The estate of the deceased

The dependants of the deceased (for instance partner/spouse, children)

What to expect from Folgate Legal…

No Call Centres - speak direct to a legal professional

Rapid Assessments - know at once if you can claim

Funding Options - including No Win, No Fee

Meetings - come to us or we can visit your home

Quality Assured - SRA regulated practice

These claims are complex and there may be competing interests between beneficiaries. Heads of claim might include:

Funeral and associated expenses

Statutory bereavement damages

Damages for pain and suffering prior to the deceased’s death

Loss of financial dependency upon the deceased

Loss of other services provided by the deceased

The circumstances surrounding the fatality may have caused the involvement of other interested parties such as the Police, Crown prosecution service or HM Coroner. This is one of the reasons that cases involving fatalities may not be straight forward.

In a world of uncertainty, it is important to be properly compensated. Folgate Legal will take Claimants sympathetically through this daunting legal minefield at what can be a very difficult time emotionally. With our expert legal knowledge and experience in cases of bereavement you will be in excellent hands.

J McVeigh – West Midlands
Dear Marc, many thanks for your cheque and an excellent outcome. Had the defence offered me half that amount at the beginning I would have taken it! You were very skilful; towards the end I thought we would go to court – and I would have gone. (testimonial made for Marc Folgate at Scrivenger Seabrook)
