The Coroner calls an inquest when someone has died in a violent or unnatural way. If it is suspected that the state caused, contributed to or failed to prevent the death of a person, the Coroner will call what is known as an Article 2 inquest. At an Article 2 inquest, the state will have legal representation. It's very important to have legal experts on your side to make sure all the facts about your loved one's death are investigated.
We have extensive experience in advising and representing parties at inquests. We can help the families of people who have died:
The inquest process is complicated and can be daunting, especially at a time when you are already trying to cope with your loss. Knowing you have an expert team on your side to support you through the proceedings and work hard to make sure the facts are properly investigated can ease the burden.
Our expert solicitors have extensive experience representing families at an inquest, in particular the families of individuals who have been especially vulnerable at the time of their death. We work closely with the charity INQUEST to make sure deaths in custody and other state detention are given the attention they deserve.
Our expert solicitors have also advised and represented organisations such as care providers who are interested parties and give evidence at Inquests. We also act for parties involved in public inquiries.
We're passionate about achieving justice for those who have been let down by the police, social services, and other authority bodies. We'll fight to get answers for you, your family and any interested parties and make sure all the facts are investigated so that the same mistakes don't happen again.
