Wrongful Death Solicitors Liverpool & North West London
Losing a loved one is devastating, but discovering that their death could have been prevented adds an unbearable layer of grief. When medical errors lead to a fatal outcome, families are left with unanswered questions and sudden financial instability.
At GAD Legal, our specialist Wrongful Death Solicitors handle these sensitive claims with the utmost determination. We investigate the circumstances surrounding the death to provide you with the answers you deserve, while fighting to secure the financial compensation necessary to protect your family’s future.
The clinical and medical negligence team at Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors specialise in claims arising from the death of patients as a consequence of poor medical care.
We are regularly instructed by families whose loved ones have sadly died and we investigate what happened and why. We strive to obtain answers and redress including compensation.
What Can Be Claimed in a Wrongful Death Case?
Compensation can include a claim for the loss of the deceased’s financial support (called ‘loss of dependency’), loss of services (e.g. childcare or household tasks / DIY performed by the deceased) and also bereavement damages.
In addition to financial dependency, eligible relatives (such as a spouse, civil partner, or parent of a minor child) are entitled to a statutory Bereavement Award. We will also recover reasonable funeral expenses and damages for the deceased’s own pain and suffering prior to death under the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934.
Medical Negligence Lawyers: Inquest Representation
We can advise in regard to Coroners inquests and if appropriate arrange representation.
An inquest is often the first opportunity to question medical staff under oath. Our solicitors can represent your family at the Coroner’s Court to ensure that crucial evidence regarding the cause of death is brought to light, which is often vital for proving the subsequent civil claim.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death
- Missed or delayed diagnosis of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses,
- Complications arising out of inappropriate or poorly performed surgery.
- Medication errors
- Missed or delayed diagnosis and treatment of Sepsis
Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim?
Under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976, claims are typically brought by the Executors of the deceased’s Estate on behalf of “dependents”. Dependents can include spouses, civil partners, children, and in some cases, parents or individuals who were living with the deceased as a partner for at least two years.
