In today’s videos I’m gonna be looking at the sensitive area of death or ‘fatal accident’ compensation claims.

Let me start by saying, we really do believe that no amount of compensation can truly replace a life whilst dealing with the grief of losing a loved one, the last thing that you want to be worrying about is money but it’s important to understand that, here in the England and Wales, there’s a government cap of a mere £12,980 award when claiming for wrongful death. This is known as the Bereavement Award.

Thankfully, we believe a life is worth more than that so we are able to offer advice on how to obtain further compensation, which should put you in a better financial position to help deal with your loss and the impact that losing a loved one brings.

As previously mentioned, the government caps the bereavement award for wrongful death at a mere £12,980. So I’m gonna go over some of the steps that you can take to ensure that you recover everything to which you are entitled. When taking these steps into consideration, in some cases, clients can claim over half a million pounds.

One thing that it is important to note is that only a spouse/civil partner or a dependent child can claim a bereavement award. If you don’t fall into either of those categories, you will not qualify.



HOWEVER, all is not lost. If you can prove that you were financially dependent upon the person that has passed away, you may be able to claim what is called a dependency award. If successful, this means that you would be able to recover compensation for the loss of the main breadwinner for instance.



When considering bringing a Fatal Accident compensation claim it’s important that you’re aware under what circumstances you can claim for. These can be road traffic accidents, accidents at work or in a public place like , in the street or in a shop, gym, theme park or even on holiday – the important thing to remember is that the accident must have been caused by someone else’s negligence.

From a practical point of view, we would advise that you keep track of any expenses that have incurred a result of the accident including funeral costs


We have specially trained staff who offer a completely free, no obligation consultation where we’ll talk through matters sensitively and confidentially. It would help us to assess your claim if you have ther accident details to hand and also any earnings information for the person that has passed away. Don’t worry though, we will only ask for the briefest of details in the initial consultation as we know how hard it can be to go over things again.


Finally, this area of law is complex. Calculations for the losses you are entitled to are tricky and include things like future loss of earnings going all the way up to retirement age plus any loss of benefits like pension payments. There are numerous other things that may be claimed for, some may be very specific to your individual circumstances, so it’s important that you seek the assistance of a Fatal Accident specialist that has experience in dealing with claims of this nature like LegalExpert.co.uk..
