What funding is available for representation at an Inquest?
Sydney Mitchell offer a range of funding options to clients that require legal advice in relation to and representation at an Inquest.
In exceptionally limited circumstances, Legal Aid* can be available for certain cases which involve a death whilst under the care or protection of the State, whilst in State custody, or where there have been systemic failings.
We offer private funding options for legal advice and representation at an Inquest. We guarantee to provide a fee estimate tailored to your needs, and we can also offer a fixed fee service, paid for in instalments, if you would prefer the certainty of that approach. Such arrangements are agreed on a case by case basis.
If a death has been caused or contributed to by negligence and a successful civil claim arises from the death - whether due to an road traffic collision, accident at work, or medical negligence – an individuals’ reasonable legal costs associated with preparation for and representation at an Inquest can be recoverable from the defendant to such a claim.
We at Sydney Mitchell can offer a range of funding options available for funding investigations into civil claims, including Conditional Fee Agreements (“No Win-No Fee Agreements”) or funding through Legal Expense Insurance. We can discuss with you the best method of funding any potential civil claim.
Whatever your priorities or personal circumstances, we can help find the best funding option for you. Simply contact us to find out more on 0121 698 2220 and ask to speak to a member of our inquest team.
*Legal Aid - Whilst we do not provide legal aid advice we can point you in the right direction should your particular case meet the stringent criteria.
