Deaths / Inquest Solicitors

Don’t go through an inquest alone. Our solicitors are here to support you every step of the way.

You’re not alone, legal support through the inquest process

Support throughout an inquest

Inquests investigate unexpected deaths, such as those following medical procedures or accidents. They can be emotionally and mentally exhausting, especially for families seeking answers. With support from our experienced legal team, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Getting your voice heard

We’ll help ensure the right questions are asked and that your voice is heard. For many families, it’s important that healthcare providers learn from mistakes. Coroners can use inquest findings to recommend changes to medical procedures and practice.

Bereavement claims after a death

If your loved one’s death was caused by medical negligence, we can advise on a compensation claim, supporting you in seeking justice and financial stability.

Led by Associate Sophie Stuart, our specialist inquest team has extensive experience and expertise in this area.

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