Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Claims After A Fatal Crash

After a fatal crash, family members may be able to claim for financial loss, funeral costs or their own psychological injury.

We’ll gently explain which claims may apply to your family.

How These Claims Work

If another driver caused or contributed to the crash, the claim is generally made to that vehicle’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer, or to the Nominal Defendant if the vehicle was uninsured or unidentified.

We’ll handle all contact with the insurer, giving your family room to grieve & heal together.

Police & Coroner Investigations

Fatal crashes are usually investigated by police and may be referred to the coroner, which can take time.

We’ll explain how any investigation may affect your family’s claim, and keep it moving forward throughout.

Act Early

Strict deadlines still apply, even while you’re grieving.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to explain the steps ahead.
