An accident resulting in fatality can sadly happen due to a number of factors. Accidents at work, accidents in a public place, road traffic accidents and medical negligence are just a number of aspects that could result in a fatal accident.  

In the case of a fatal accident claim there are two parts to the claim. The first part of a fatal accident claim is focused on the pain and suffering endured by the deceased and the loss of amenity that they experienced. This aspect of compensation covers financial loss from the date of injury to the date of death and includes all funeral expenses. This compensation cannot however be claimed if death occurred straight away or if the deceased did not regain consciousness after the accident.

The second aspect of a fatal accident claim is a claim that is brought by the dependent of the deceased. The compensation covers a loss of financial support that was covered by the deceased. The dependents which can claim this compensation are a spouse, or partner that lived with the victim for over two years, children, parents, grandparents or grandchildren. This aspect of a fatal compensation claim covers the loss of financial support since the death of the victim.
