How We Can Help
Our human rights solicitors are vastly experienced in this area having represented hundreds of bereaved families in Inquests and public inquiries. We know how important it is for families to obtain answers for the death of their loved ones, particularly if they have died in unusual or uncertain circumstances. A coroner's inquest can be a useful remedy for families to obtain the answers they seek.
The coroner will generally encourage the participation of family members during the process. We act for a number of family members who have been identified as ‘properly interested persons’ in an Inquest which gives them the opportunity to review the evidence, inform and assist the Coroner’s investigation prior to hearing and to make submissions via their legal representatives at an Inquest hearing.
We advise family members of their role in an Inquest and will be on hand to provide representation and legal advice throughout the process.
We also provide advice and representation to other individuals who had some involvement with the deceased or who may have been a witness to the death for example. These individuals can also be named as ‘properly interested persons’.
Inquests are a very effective mechanism for properly investigating the circumstances of a death and can provide families with some form of closure.
