What is a Coroner's Inquest?
It is likely that where an accident has caused the death of a loved one there will be an inquest. Our specialist team of experienced lawyers can represent you at an inquest.
The inquest will be held by a coroner. In some circumstances there may be a jury present. The purpose of the inquest is to establish the identity of the deceased, the place and time of death and how the deceased came by his death.
The inquest is useful as it can shed light on the circumstances surrounding the death. The coroner will call witnesses who can be questioned by the representative of the bereaved family. After all the evidence has been given the coroner will deliver a verdict indicating how the deceased came by his death. Our sympathetic and experienced lawyers can advise you and your family on your rights to receive compensation if the death of your loved one has been caused by somebody else.
