One of the very first steps that you should take is to appoint a specialist firm to manage your case. When looking for the right solicitor, points to consider include their experience in similar cases, their personable and cooperative approach, and how their fees work. During the early stages of a fatal accident claim, the solicitor will work closely with you to gather the facts so that they can provide advice on the options available. If an inquest is held by a coroner, the solicitors will be able to attend and represent you. If the claim goes to court, they will be able to present evidence, such as photographs and witness statements. A claim will be won when the fatal accident solicitors have successfully argued that a third party was liable for the death and that the claimant’s life was significantly impacted as a result.
