Is the Inquest private to the family?

No. All inquests are held in public. Journalists may attend especially if it is “news worthy” material and be published in the daily or local papers depending on the public interest and importance. Suicide notes and personal letters will not be read out unless they have to be, but although every attempt is made to avoid any upset to people’s private lives, sometimes, in the interests of justice, it may be unavoidable.

Do I need a Solicitor at the Inquest?

You do not normally need to instruct a solicitor but we would always recommend that you consult a specialist Inquest and Fatal Accident Solicitor to discuss your options. It is usually very helpful that a Solicitor is present at the inquest if there is a possibility that a subsequent claim for compensation or legal action is to be made. By attending an Inquest this will give your Solicitors first hand appreciation of the witness giving evidence and better able to assess the strength of any subsequent action.

If the cause of death is due to a road accident, accident at work, death caused by neglect or exposure to asbestos we can work for you free of charge including attending the Inquest if we feel there is a strong case.
