If you were dependent on a family member or loved one who has passed away as a result of someone else’s negligence, in addition to claiming funeral expenses on the Estate’s behalf, you may be eligible to claim damages for their loss of services and/or financial contribution and for any resulting psychiatric injury you may have suffered as a result (known as a nervous shock).
In the event a family member or loved one passed away during the course of their employment, you may also have the right to receive statutory workers’ compensation.
Strict time periods apply to claims for statutory compensation and damages in respect to the loss of a family member or loved one. Consequently, it is important you immediately seek advice in respect to your rights.
