Our Fatal Injury Compensation Claims Process

PR Scully will ask the fault insurer to make interim payments as quickly as possible so you have one less thing to worry about. Money is the last thing you want to be thinking about after a loved one’s death, so we will do all that we can to make sure that you are financially secure.

If you and your family were financially dependent on the income earned by the person who died, we will put forward a claim to recover the loss of financial support. Alongside your fatal accident claims process, we will also activate a statutory bereavement award for you in line with the fatal accident act 1976. Usually, this figure is around the £12,000 mark, so it is a small amount compared to the trauma of losing a loved one, but it can help offset some of the financial losses and is added on to the compensation for other parts of your claim which are likely to be more substantial.

As well as a claim for financial dependency, you may be able to bring a separate claim on behalf of the person who died which is known as “the victims claim”.  They may have had financial losses from the date of the accident to the date that they died, due to medical fees or other costs, and they may also be entitled to claim for the pain and suffering that they have been through before they died.

You can seek compensation from criminal injuries, someone else’s negligence, dangerous driving, accidents abroad, workplace accidents and other fatal injuries. Please refer to our fatal accident claims guide for more information.
