Serious road accidents can have catastrophic consequences – especially for the most vulnerable road users. Sadly, those consequences can sometimes be fatal. The impact on those left behind is one of profound shock and distress. We appreciate how the idea of making a road accident traffic claim can seem far from important in such situations. While it cannot bring back a loved one who has passed away, it can provide the financial and emotional support you need when coming to terms with your loss. If you are claiming on behalf of a loved one who has passed away due to a road traffic accident, you may also be entitled to the statutory bereavement payment currently set at £15,120.
