Fatal accidents claims

At fatal accidents claims solicitors we are always here to help families who have been the victim of a tragic fatal accident. Whether the death is sudden or over a period of time, the devastation can be unbearable, from an emotional and financial aspect. Fatal accident claim solicitors have over 24 years of experience in dealing with the complex legal issues following the death of a loved one.

The Principal Solicitor, Ronnie Hutcheon explains the importance to him and the practice when handling a fatal accident claim:

“Every fatal accident claim is a tragedy. Whether the deceased is young or old. On a personal level, as a firm, we all bond with our clients and help them through every step of the claim. This can be getting to the facts of what happened such as attending the inquest or Crown or Magistrates Court if the accused is being prosecuted. Collating and obtaining all the evidence required to make a fatal accident claim including attending witnesses and getting copies of the police reports as soon as possible.”

He further explains the importance of each fatal accident claim that his firm handles:

“The legal issues following a fatal accident can be very complex. A Fatal accident compensation claim is not for inexperienced solicitors or solicitors with just a few years experience dealing with low value personal injury claims. Fatal accident claims demand the wide-spread experience of a solicitor forearmed with all the legal equipment necessary to get to the truth of what has happened. At the same time, ensure the deceased’s family are kept up to date, supported emotionally and ultimately financially by a maximum compensation award. At this time despite the fact that Solicitors can take up to 25% of the fatal accident compensation award, I continue to insist that we do not charge anything. Families can rest assured that they have the ability to keep 100% of the compensation that is awarded unlike other Solicitors. Nothing less will do in my practice.

Diesel Oil Causes Motorcycle Fatal Accident Claim

Diesel Oil Causes Motorcycle Fatal Accident Claim

This fatal accident compensation claim brought by the Deceased Dependants arose when the motorcycle skidded on gravel causing the cyclist to be thrown on to the road surface.  He died suffering from a subdural haematoma.

The fatal accident claims solicitors brought a claim against the Local Highways Authority (In London) stating that they had a duty of care and were responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the road.”  They also alleged breach of duty under s 41 of the Highways Act 1980. This provides a legal duty for the Highways Authority to maintain the road and pathways.

The Authority argued that at common law and under statute the duty of care did not extend to a duty to remove surface lying material, such as spillages or stones.

The fatal accident claim solicitors lost the case and appeal but the Court of Appeal found in favour of the Authority.  The Court was of the view that the large volume of material built up on the surface of the road was part of its fabric…and thus had no duty of care to remove the obstruction.  The same could be said with oil spillages.

However every case will be decided on its own particular facts and if you have been injured due to an oil spillage please contact us for advice.
