Who Can Make a Fatal Accident Claim?

The law limits who can make a fatal accident claim to 'family' and 'dependents'. This usually means the following people can claim:

• Widow
• Widower
• Children of the deceased
• Parents of the deceased
• Any person living with the deceased as a partner for at least two years
