Can I make a fatal injury dependency claim?
If you are dependant on a person and they die as a result of an accident, you may be able to make a fatal injury claim if you show you were fully or partially dependent on that person’s income or services.
If the matter is a workers compensation matter then the system for compensation is set out in Schedule 1A of the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act. A claim can be made if you were a partner, child or prescribed family member and were wholly or in part dependent upon the earnings of the worker at the time of the worker’s death; or would have been wholly or in part dependent upon the earnings of the worker at the time of the worker’s death if the injury had not occurred. It is not necessary to prove negligence for statutory workers compensation benefits.
In other claims, like motor vehicle accident injury claims, or a common law work injury claim, it is necessary to show that negligence caused the death of the injured person.

Fatal Accident – Motor Vehicle / Car Accident Injury Compensation
In the event that you and your family are dependent on someone who has died in a motor vehicle accident, and another driver was negligent or at fault in causing the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of dependency and the funeral costs of the person who died.
These claims are often made by a close relative such as a wife, husband, de facto partner, child, parent, brother or sister of the person who has died. Such a claim is normally brought by the executor of the deceased estate of the person who has died.
If the person who is at fault in causing the motor vehicle accident has also died then a person wishing to commence legal action can just sue the insurance commission of Western Australia pursuant to Section 7(2) of the Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Act 1943.
Fatal Accident – Workers Compensation Injury Compensation
In Western Australia, the provisions of the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 state that certain dependents can be paid benefits upon the death of a worker.
A dependent spouse or dependent parents may be entitled to receive payment of compensation of what the Act defines as the Notional Residual Entitlement Amount (NRE Amount) which may depend on the degree of financial dependency and the compensation the worker received prior to death.
Each dependent child or step-child is entitled to receive a weekly allowance to the age of 16 or to the age of 21 if the child is engaged in full-time studies to that age or the dependent child or step-child can elect to receive an apportionment of the NRE Amount.
If a dependant considers that they may be entitled to any of the above compensation, they must make a claim by completing a claim form 2D and forwarding it to the employer. The form should be supported by all related medical documentation, death certificate, accounts, and details of the funeral expenses. The claim and other material will then usually be referred to the employer’s insurer for consideration.
The amount that can be changed is subject to change and Foyle Legal suggest obtaining legal advice from a fatal accident compensation lawyer so that you can understand your entitlement.
NO WIN NO FEE Fatal Accident Compensation Lawyers
The usual procedure when you engage a lawyer is the lawyer charges you on a regular basis for work done regardless of whether you win or lose. A no win no fee compensation lawyer will only charge you a fee if you are successful in settling your claim for compensation or obtaining a successful judgment. The no win no fee arrangement does not mean you have nothing to lose. If you go to trial and lose then you will have to pay the other party’s legal costs and disbursements such as court costs and medical witness costs.
