Compassionate Fatal Injury Solicitors with Serious Injury Expertise


Are you looking to ensure that your claim is handled by a serious injury specialist firm of solicitors with experience in fatal injury claims in Dudley, and that all advice is provided with the appropriate level of expertise and sensitivity?


Our fatal injury solicitors understand how important it is for families to feel supported, informed, and confident that their claim is being handled properly from the outset during a very difficult time.


Supporting Families After the Loss of a Loved One


The death of a loved one following an accident is traumatic, and we aim to ensure that families receive bereavement damages, funeral expenses and dependency awards for the income the deceased would have provided. Our role is to help families secure the compensation they are entitled to, while guiding them carefully through the claims process.


A fatal accident claim can be brought by:

• A husband, wife, ex-husband or ex-wife of the deceased

• A partner who lived with the deceased for at least two years prior to death

• A child or parent of the deceased

• A civil partner or ex-civil partner of the deceased

• A brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew or cousin of the deceased


Our solicitors can explain who may be eligible to bring a claim and how a fatal accident compensation claim may be pursued on behalf of the family or estate.


Fatal Accident Compensation and No Win No Fee Claims


Compensation may include loss of financial support and services, covering:


• Pain and suffering prior to death

• Statutory bereavement award

• Funeral expenses

• Dependency claims for lost income

• Compensation for lost services such as childcare, care for relatives, or household tasks


Compensation claims address financial losses and the pain and suffering experienced before death. While there can be no recompense for emotional loss, compensation may be recovered from the negligent party or their insurers.


Ellis Hass & Co Solicitors act on a no-win, no-fee basis and will pursue the claim on behalf of the estate. This means the family does not pay legal fees if the claim is unsuccessful, allowing them to seek justice without added financial pressure.

Why People Choose Ellis Hass?

We are acutely aware of the sometimes unhelpful reputation of Solicitors firms as being ‘stuffy’ or ‘old-fashioned’ and the idea that solicitors will charge hundreds if not thousands of pounds for very little or overly academic advice - after all you don’t instruct a solicitors firm unless you have a problem! Ellis Hass & Co will work on a No Win No Fee basis and we will discuss the Success Fee deduction at the start of your legal claim so there are no surprises.

Who Can Make a Fatal Accident Claim?

Common Questions About Fatal Accident Claims

  • Can I make a fatal accident claim on behalf of a family member?

    Yes. Fatal accident claims are usually brought by close family members, dependants, or the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. This allows a claim to be pursued even though the injured person has sadly passed away. A solicitor can explain who is best placed to act on behalf of the family and ensure the claim is handled correctly.

  • Who is legally entitled to claim compensation after a fatal accident?

    The law allows certain people to claim following a fatal accident, including spouses, civil partners, long-term partners, children, parents, and in some cases other relatives or financial dependants. Claims may also be brought by the estate of the deceased. Eligibility depends on your relationship to the deceased and whether you relied on them financially or in other ways.

  • How long do fatal accident compensation claims take to resolve?

    Every case is different. Some fatal accident claims can be resolved within months, while others take longer depending on factors such as liability, evidence, and whether medical or expert reports are required. Your solicitor will keep you informed throughout and work to progress the claim as efficiently as possible.

  • Do I need to go to court for a fatal accident claim?

    Most fatal accident claims are settled without the need for a court hearing. Solicitors usually deal directly with the other party or their insurers to reach a fair settlement. Court proceedings are only considered if a resolution cannot be reached, and you would be fully advised and supported if that became necessary.

  • Can I claim on a No Win No Fee basis?

    Yes. Fatal accident claims are commonly handled on a No Win No Fee basis. This means you do not pay legal fees if the claim is unsuccessful, allowing families to pursue a claim without taking on financial risk at an already difficult time.

  • Is there a time limit for making a fatal accident claim?

    In most cases, fatal accident claims must be started within three years of the date of death or the date the cause of death became known. There can be exceptions, so it is always advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible to protect your position.

  • Will I have to deal with insurers or paperwork myself?

    No. Your solicitor will handle communication with insurers, gather evidence, and manage the legal paperwork on your behalf. This allows you to focus on your family while the claim is progressed professionally and with care.

  • What should I do first after losing a loved one in a fatal accident?

    The most important thing is to take the time you need to grieve and look after yourself and your family. When you feel ready, seeking legal advice can help you understand your options and what support may be available. An initial consultation can provide reassurance and clarity without any obligation to proceed.

  • What Areas Do You Service?
