Wrongful Death & Fatal Accident Claims
Losing a loved one due to another party’s negligence or unlawful conduct is devastating. Adventure Legal helps families across Australia pursue wrongful death compensation claims and accountability at what is already an incredibly difficult time.
How We Can Help
Under Australian law, where a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or unlawful conduct of another party, surviving family members and financial dependants may be entitled to claim wrongful death compensation. These claims — often called wrongful death or fatal accident claims — exist to recognise the profound financial and personal impact of losing a loved one.
Compensation in death claims can cover loss of financial support, loss of services provided by the deceased (such as childcare or household contributions), funeral expenses, and in some jurisdictions, grief and loss of consortium. The available heads of damage vary between states and territories.
Adventure Legal handles death claims with the sensitivity and rigour they demand. Christopher takes the time to understand your family’s situation and ensures that the full impact of the loss is properly reflected in your claim.
