A fatal injury claim is a legal process that allows eligible dependants to seek compensation when a person dies due to another party’s negligence.
This term generally describes an arrangement where legal fees only apply if your case is successful. These are commonly used in personal injury and medical negligence cases in Kilkenny.

Yes. Evidence must show that another person or organisation failed in their duty of care, leading to the death.
Claims may include solatium, funeral costs, financial dependency losses, and the value of services once provided by the deceased.
Most claims must be brought within two years from the date of death or from when you first became aware of potential negligence.
Many cases settle outside of court. If court proceedings are needed, we provide full support throughout.
Only one claim is made on behalf of all dependants. Compensation is then distributed as set out by Irish law.
A claim may still be possible. Compensation may be reduced based on the level of contributory negligence.
Yes, in many cases. We will explain how it applies during your initial consultation.
