Can I claim compensation if my family member was killed in a fall from height?

Yes, if a family member has been killed in a fall from height, you can make a claim for compensation on their behalf. Although no amount of money can bring back your loved one, making a fatal accident claim can help lighten any financial burden. Compensation will include a Statutory Bereavement Award in recognition of the grief a person has gone through after the death of a loved one, as well as a financial token in recognition that the person’s death was wrong. There are other costs and expenses that can be claimed for, including:

The pain and suffering of the deceased
Repayment of losses, for example, funeral expenses
Loss of income and financial support from the deceased
The cost of probate
