Fatal Accident Claims

What is a Fatal Accident claim?

The Fatal Accidents Act covers claims arising from death caused by negligent treatment regardless of whether this was received in hospital, under the care of GPs, or in other healthcare settings. Common examples of negligence that may lead to fatal outcomes include surgical errors, failure to diagnose serious conditions, incorrect medication administration, or delays in treatment. If the medical negligence contributed to the death of your loved one, you could be entitled to claim compensation for your loss. This can help cover funeral expenses, loss of income, and a loss of dependency.

To pursue a claim under the Fatal Accidents Act, it is essential to establish that the medical treatment your loved one received fell below the accepted standard of care and directly caused or contributed to their death.
