The death of a spouse or close relative can result in unimaginable emotional trauma and may also bring further emotional strain for families and dependants in the form of financial loss and uncertainty. Although fatal accident claims and inquests cannot turn back the clock or heal emotional wounds, they can help provide practical support and security while providing answers to resolve uncertainty.

Fatal accident inquests
An inquest is there to help you understand the circumstances surrounding a fatal accident and may even assist your solicitor in making a claim for compensation.
Healys can assist grieving families through the process of an inquest. By compiling a file of relevant documents and evidence, such as medical records and accidents reports, we can help ensure that the inquest hearing is both thorough and informed. Above all, we can help ensure that your interests are represented and that, where you desire, you are able to ask witnesses the crucial questions and, hopefully, receive the answers you need.
Any evidence that comes to light during an inquest hearing may later be of assistance in securing a favourable outcome to a fatal accident claim.
