Support at inquests

When someone dies a violent or unnatural death, or the cause of death is unknown, a coroner must investigate the circumstances, and any findings may be considered at an inquest.

For family members, the inquest may be the first time you have the chance to find out more about what happened. Laws about inquests are complex and we can help you understand them clearly. Our solicitors will help you to prepare for the inquest and guide you through the process, making sure you know what to expect.

If you have information the Coroner believes may help an investigation, you can be summoned to give evidence. This can be a daunting prospect, but our experienced solicitors will guide you through what your obligations are and what you need to do.
