Can I Make a Claim on Behalf of Someone Who has Died?
The answer to this is yes. When someone who has a clinical negligence claim dies, then the Executors/Administrators of the deceased's estate can bring a claim on his/her behalf. If the person died whilst receiving medical treatment, then there may be an Inquest. It is important to obtain specialist legal advice as soon as possible as representation by a Solicitor at the Inquest may be very important. If someone you know has died and you believe that this is as a result of clinical negligence, then contact Justin Goodman or Guy Eskell or complete our online enquiry form and a member of our clinical negligence team will contact you.
