Claims arising out of a Fatal Accident can be complex, high value and fraught with emotion. This book offers the practitioner a clear and comprehensive guide to all of the issues involved with running a claim for damages arising out of a fatal accident. Claims for dependency and other statutory claims for damages are discussed in detail and analysed with reference to the latest case law. Straightforward advice is offered on the merits of many of the common arguments encountered in cases of this kind and the development of these arguments is discussed. The book offers both a clear introduction to the subject for those new to it and a comprehensive guide to all of the latest arguments and case law for the more experienced practitioner. The latest edition of this book deals with the new rights of cohabitees following the case of Smith; the latest statutory developments to the Fatal Accidents Act and the bereavement award, and includes expanded sections on Regan v Williamson awards, loss of earnings claims of the surviving partner and prospect of reconciliation.
