Coping With Bereavement
Losing a loved one is always a painful experience, but if their death was someone else’s fault it can be that much harder to cope with. If someone close to you has died as a result of someone else’s mistakes, we can help you access bereavement support as well as compensation for their wrongful death.
Supporting grieving families
We understand the important role that bereavement support plays in the grieving process. We’ve helped many families who have been affected by the death of a loved one in traumatic, unexpected circumstances.
Our lawyers are familiar with the support available to you and will be able to help you access the care you need, including:
- Support during the application process for the Statutory Bereavement Award or benefits
- Help accessing the care you need, including bereavement counselling
- Signposting to charities such as Cruse, Brake, Roadpeace, StrongMen, Ataloss, Widowed & Young and Grief Encounter
- Access to our specialist Support and Rehabilitation teams, made up of healthcare professionals with many years of experience
- Practical help and advice dealing with services which you could be unfamiliar with, such as benefits agencies or wills and probate
- Acting as legal advocate for the bereaved
We help grieving families seek answers and closure after a traumatic experience, taking great pride in our caring approach.
If someone close to you has died in an accident or because of industrial illness, please contact us for more information on claiming compensation and the ways we could help you access bereavement support.
