Free Inquest Solicitors & Support

24 07 2008

As specialist fatal accident solicitors we can work for free win or lose so you have nothing to worry about. A lot of people are concerned about legal costs but these days solicitors can now work for free whatever the outcome of the case. Some solicitors do not so you should be careful who you obtain advice from.

You, your family and friends are already distressed by the loss of a loved one but if the deceased was the bread winner, the financial worries can be immense. Whether you can afford a specialist solicitor will be the furthest from your mind when instructing our fatal accident team here at Hutcheon Solicitors. We will represent you knowing that you will be fully protected and expertly represented throughout the case.

Free Inquest Help and Attendance

If the cause of death is due to a road accident, accident at work, 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. We can do this if the person at fault was to blame for the death of the deceased in whole or in part and has suitable insurance cover. If death was caused in a road traffic accident by an uninsured or untraced driver you can still claim under the Motor Insurance Bureau scheme.

How Can We Work For Free?

Our specialist fatal accident team at Hutcheon Solicitors will be paid by the other side in the event that the claim is won. In the unlikely event the claim is lost, a legal expense insurance policy will pay the legal costs of the other side which means you will have nothing to pay, win or lose.

At Hutcheon Solicitors we would urge you not to let the cost of appointing an expert fatal accident solicitor bar the way to claiming justice and the right to compensation.

How to Contact Us

At Hutcheon Solicitors we make it easy, you can fill on our online form, call us on free of charge on 0800 083 0626 or alternatively we operate a secure confidential live chat facility on this site that you are also able to use should you feel more comfortable.

What happens if I also want to claim compensation?

24 07 2008

What happens if I also want to claim compensation?

Any court action for compensation will usually follow after the Inquest has been held when all the facts of the case has been determined. You do not normally need to instruct a solicitor at the Inquest, 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.

The defendant charged with murder or manslaughter, ‘child destruction’ (killing a foetus after 28 weeks), causing death by reckless driving or taking part in another person’s suicide, the inquest is postponed until the defendant’s trial is over. Before adjourning, the coroner finds out who the deceased was and how the deceased died. After the criminal trial the Coroner may resume the Inquest if deemed appropriate.

When do I get a death certificate?

24 07 2008

When do I get a death certificate?

This depends upon whether a post-mortem is carried out and an Inquest held. If a post-mortem was undertaken and an inquest held, the Coroner may issue an interim death certificate so that the family can deal with the deceased financial affairs. A final death certificate will only be issued once the Inquest has been concluded.

If the Coroner following a post-mortem decides not to hold a Inquest or if no post-mortem is held and the Coroner accepts the cause of death by a doctor, a death certificate can be issued to the register of death within 1-2 working days of being notified.

What about organ donations?

24 07 2008

What about organ donations?

The wishes of the deceased about organ donation must be communicated to the GP/Hospital immediately. Providing the removal of organs do not impede the pathologist’s inquiry into the cause of death this should not cause any problems. A medical certificate must be issued first before the removal of organs.

The pathologist (the person who undertakes the post-mortem) who helps establish the cause of death, from time to time, may have to remove organs from the deceased.
