How To Claim For a Fatal Accident

A fatal accident will cause emotional and financial suffering for the family members of the deceased victim. The financial losses suffered can be recovered using a compensation claim. Understandably many people are not aware as to how to claim for a fatal accident that has resulted in the passing away of a family member.

You may be entitled to claim damages if another party is to blame for the accident. Excalibur Solicitors  are specialist Personal Injury Solicitors who can assist you in claiming compensation. The benefit of consulting Excalibur Solicitors is that we work on a no-win-no-fee basis and give the compensation amount to you without deducting any charges. The claim can be brought by the deceased’s family members. The claim can be divided into two parts, first is the victim’s claim for the physical and emotional hardship and pain that he suffered due to the injury. There is no compensation if the victim’s death was instant. If the victim dies after sometime of the accident, the compensation charges would include the financial losses from the date of injury to the death. This will also include the expenses incurred on the funeral.

Secondly the compensation would include financial losses that the dependants suffer, this reinsures the financial support to the family members. The dependents may include the wife, children and grandchildren or even parents and grandparents. The emotional loss suffered cannot be removed but financial support will help maintain the financial stability of the household. The total amount of compensation will vary according to individual circumstances.

To claim the compensation, it is necessary to prove that the accident was caused due to the negligence of another party. Excalibur Solicitors will help you gain all the knowledge about how to claim and what amount to claim. It can take months or even years to close a case. However, we may also try and close these cases with an out of court settlement. The advice on how to claim for a fatal accident can be acquired through Excalibur Solicitors.

Pedestrian Fall from Bicycle
Miss H was knocked off her bicycle when her front tyre struck a loose paving stone jutting into the road. She sustained a head injury causing severe short term memory loss and mood swings. After 2 years her original Solicitors withdrew from the case as they believed her claim had less than a 50% chance of succeeding. Miss H contacted Excalibur who agreed to represent her on a No win No fee basis.

Within 18 months the matter was resolved and Miss H received a settlement cheque of £300,000.00. She told us
"Thank you Excalibur for believing in me and my claim. My Solicitor was always available to me and happy to explain each step of the process. The only surprise was how much you managed to obtain for me without the need to go to trial. I will tell all my friends about your great service."
