Those who were financially dependent on victim of a fatal accident may be able to claim compensation for the loss of financial support such as:

  • childcare
  • household duties

  • pension rights

Some compensations may also cover for bereavement and funeral expenses.

Dependent parties seeking compensation will fall under one of the following categories:

  • a spouse or former spouse
  • a cohabitee (if he or she had been living as man and wife with the deceased)

  • a parent or ascendant of the deceased

  • a child or other descendant, (including children who may not be blood relatives but who were treated as children of the family)
  • other relatives of the deceased i.e. a brother, sister, uncle, aunt or their issue
