Boyes Turner’s serious injury lawyers have helped countless families through the emotional trauma, legal formalities and financial devastation that follow the death of a loved one.
We support families whose lives have been catastrophically affected by fatal injuries caused by someone else’s fault, including road or workplace accidents, unsafe buildings or public facilities, asbestos exposure, and criminal violence, in the UK or elsewhere.
We understand that nothing can provide instant relief from the feelings of loss that follow a child, parent or partner’s death, but we know that where the family relied on the deceased’s income, parenting or home-making, their grief is often compounded by worries about money and how they will cope.
Compensation can bring relief from financial hardship at this difficult time. Financial stability gives our clients the means to pay for essential help, and peace of mind for the future, helping them adjust to a new way of family life.
Fatal accident claims need specialist handling as they have their own legal requirements and additional complexities from other claims. Our lawyers are nationally recognised for their expertise in representing bereaved families at coroners' inquests and guiding them through the claims process, to secure the highest levels of compensation that they are entitled to claim.
We understand that fatal injury often happens in highly distressing and traumatic circumstances which may be difficult to talk about, but we would encourage you to reach out for our help and make the call. Our compassionate personal injury team are experienced in helping clients who have suffered psychological injury, including PTSD, after seeing their loved ones suffering or in the aftermath of fatal or life-threatening accidents. We are here for families who have been affected by fatal injury and will discuss your claim, confidentially, with sensitivity and understanding and advise you how we can help.
We also help clients who were injured by the negligence of someone who died in the same accident to claim compensation for their own injuries against the deceased defendant’s estate.
