Can the information used at a coroners inquest help you make a fatal accident claim?
“Yes” – the information used by a coroner at the inquest, the verdict given and the reasons for the verdict at the end of the fatal accident coroner’s inquest can be accessed by your lawyer and will help determine whether someone was at fault so a claim can be made against them for compensation. Your solicitor would need a large amount of additional evidence to help prove your claim, but the initial findings of the coroner at the inquest would assist in helping make a decision whether to consider making a claim or not.
