Our health lawyers have extensive experience of representing families at inquests into deaths occurring in a healthcare context or following medical treatment. Our lawyers are always mindful that the inquest will inevitably raise circumstances which are very distressing to the family members. Added to this, the complex medical and legal issues can make the inquest a daunting process. With specialist advocacy and representation, family members will be assured that there will be a full exploration of the difficult questions concerning the death. In many cases, the inquest can be used to ensure that similar deaths are prevented in the future.
Our role is to assist families to
- Request an inquest
- Liaise with the Coroner's office
- Determine questions to raise at inquest
- Arrange expert evidence on all relevant medical issues
- Arranging or performing expert advocacy
Our team of highly experienced health and medical lawyers are all highly respected in this challenging arena and have specialist knowledge acquired over many years.
