Who can claim fatal injury compensation?
Fatal injury compensation is given as repayment in respect of the victim’s unjust suffering and can also be awarded to dependents of the victim to compensate for the added financial burden of losing an earner.
Fatal injury compensation can be claimed by family members and partners related to the deceased, including:
• Spouses and civil partners
• Unmarried, cohabiting partners for two or more years.
• Ex-spouses
• Parents
• Siblings
• The estate of the deceased.
What affects a fatal injury claim?
Your fatal injury claim, including the amount of compensation, is affected by the circumstances relating to the fatal injury.
Your claim will be evaluated on:
• Age of the deceased
• Expected retirement age
• Level of financial dependency
• Inquests and fact-finding hearings
• Suffering, if death is not instant.
Bereavement damages can also be recovered in certain circumstances. In limited cases, it may be possible to recover compensation for any psychological injuries you have experienced.
