A fatal injury claim is pursued where a person dies as a result of another person’s wrongful act. Though the loss of a loved one cannot be adequately compensated for, the financial burden that dependents have to bear can be reduced or alleviated through a successful fatal injuries claim. A fatal injuries claim can only be initiated by dependents of the deceased person against the wrongdoer. To be considered a dependent, a person must prove that they suffered mental distress or financial loss due to the deceased’s death and they must be closely related to the deceased either as a child, spouse, sister, brother, step-sister, step-brother, or grandchild. Note that, only one fatal injuries claim can be initiated against the wrongdoer. Therefore, your fatal injuries solicitor Dublin will ensure that all dependent parties are included in the case.
