The law recognises two types: claims for the person who died (covering their pain, suffering, and losses before death) and claims for dependants under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. Spouses, partners, children, parents, and other family members who relied on them financially can all claim.
No upfront payment is needed to start a No Win, No Fee¹ fatal accident claim. If the claim is unsuccessful, no success fee is charged. If it succeeds, the agreed success fee and cancellation terms are explained before you proceed.
