Deaths / inquest solicitors

Inquests investigate unexpected deaths after medical procedures or accidents. They can be very stressful for families, but we can help make it easier for you.

Expert Inquest lawyers: Supporting families

When a loved one dies, this is a particularly difficult time but when the death was unexpected or unexplained, it can be even harder. There may be an inquest as well.

Led by Partner Tim Deeming, also Deputy Assistant Coroner for Suffolk, our specialist inquest team have extensive experience and expertise in this area.

Specialist inquest solicitors

An inquest should pinpoint what went wrong and why. It can help you make sense of what happened and gain closure. However, an inquest into a loved one’s death can be very difficult to go through. Most families feel ill-equipped to deal with this on their own, but you don’t have to. Our specialist inquest team can help.

Free consultation

We offer an initial free 30 minute, no obligation consultation. We will discuss the options for funding the inquest at that stage, but if you want to know more now, please get in touch.

We could not fault the service provided by the whole team at Tees. Responsive, supportive and extremely professional throughout.

Legal representation at an inquest

A solicitor can support you through the inquest process and do as much as you need including:

provide guidance about what happens at an inquest and what to expect
discuss which witnesses will be called with the coroner and highlight the issues we think need to be considered
legal representation at the inquest – making sure your voice is heard
help you raise awareness about the issues surrounding your loved one’s care, through working with our media team.

For many families, it’s also important to know that healthcare providers learn from any mistakes made during their loved one’s care. Based on the results of the inquest, coroners can even recommend changes to procedures.

Bereavement claims after a death

We may be able to help you make a claim for compensation if the death was due to medical negligence.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
