Fatal Accidents Claims

Seeking Justice for the Loss of a Loved One

Losing a loved one in a fatal accident is a devastating experience—especially when that loss was caused by someone else’s negligence. While no amount of compensation can ease the pain, pursuing a fatal accident claim can help provide financial stability and a sense of justice during an incredibly difficult time.

At NJS Law, we offer sensitive, professional support to families dealing with wrongful death. Our experienced team will guide you through the legal process with care and respect, working to secure the compensation you’re entitled to for funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional impact of your loss.

How we can help you

We have assisted family members grieving due to the loss of loved ones due to road accidents – car, cyclist, motorbikes and pedestrians. We have assisted families who have lost due to a construction accident, or accident at work.

Our fatal accidents team have assisted many who have lost family members due to the neglect of the medical profession.

Your loved one may have been your household’s main salary earner or may have contributed financially to the running of your home.

They could have been the main carer at home, looking after you, your children, or other relatives. In these circumstances you may find yourself unable to manage or cope with financial matters, such as mortgage or loan payments, and importantly with care issues. You may have children or relatives who depend on your assistance.

NJS Law can help ease these burdens by claiming damages on your behalf to help alleviate the financial burden that is now placed upon you. We will push for an interim payment from the Defendant to assist you and in certain scenarios we can also apply to Court for an interim payment to assist you financially.
