At Curtis Law Solicitors we understand the devastating effect that a fatal accident of a loved one can have on your family. Our experienced Solicitors have helped many families in this situation with sympathy, efficiency and with minimum disruption at a time of grief.

It is important that you instruct an experienced Fatal Accidents Solicitors if you have been unfortunate to have lost a loved one as a result of negligence. Due to the complexity and speciality in nature, bereaved families require the best possible advice and representation.

Most personal injury lawyers are not experienced on Fatal Accidents Claims and at Curtis Law Solicitors you'll be assured we are different.

We can help you achieve maximum compensation - with a NO WIN – NO FEE agreement.

We are currently instructed in cases concerning neonatal death, death arising from hospital acquired infection; misprescription and misadministration of medication; and misdiagnosed cancer; in cases concerning asbestosis; and vehicle and pedestrian fatal accidents.

Our Fatal Accidents Solicitors can advise at every stage of your claim. Our specialists regularly advise on fatal accidents arising from:

• Medical treatment and misdiagnosis
• Death in Detention
• Industrial Diseases
• Road Traffic Accidents
• Workplace Accidents

We can pursue claims on behalf of:

• A husband or wife, or former husband or wife of the deceased
• A civil partner or former civil partner of the deceased
• A person who was living with the deceased as husband or wife for at least two years prior to the death
• A parent or other dependant of the deceased
• A person who was treated by the deceased as his or her parent
• A child or other dependant of the deceased

Kenneth Lees and his team are experienced Coronial Inquest Lawyers, meaning that they represent bereaved families from the outset of these claims.

Conditional Fee/Damages Based Agreements

We undertake risk assessments on all such matters and aim to complete the same within 24 hours of receipt of instructions on straightforward matters, or 72 hours of receipt of substantial papers, if applicable. The length of time taken on the risk assessment will vary according to the instructions and papers but we would expect to spend in the region of 30 minutes on straightforward matters. A more accurate timeframe can be given on a case by case basis if required. We do not charge for the initial risk assessment.

If a matter is accepted it would, as a rule of thumb, be subject to a 25% Success Fee and After the Event Insurance (ATE) Premium deduction. The level of Success Fee and ATE Premium will vary depending on the nature and complexity of the case and the exact Success Fee as a percentage of damages and ATE Premium will be confirmed to you before you sign any retainer with us.

Under the terms of a Conditional Fee/Damages Based Agreement, you would ordinarily only have to pay the Success Fee and ATE Premium yourself. If however, you breach the agreement you would then become responsible for our full costs.
