Families of Deceased

If your family member has unfortunately passed away in the fire accident, in addition to arranging the post-death arrangements, you may also consider whether there are any legal actions against the party at fault for compensations. According to the relevant personal injury regulations, if it is established that the incident was caused by negligence or breach of duty of another party, the deceased’s family members may be entitled to bring a claim in accordance with the law. 

 

The procedures applicable to such claims are broadly alike to those for personal injury claims brought by the injured person, and family members may refer to the above steps when initiating a claim. The potential scope of compensation may include funeral expenses, loss of financial support resulting from the death of the primary breadwinner, and damages for emotional distress.
