An inquest is a formal investigation conducted to determine the circumstances surrounding a death that is unexpected, violent, or unnatural, or when the cause of death is unknown. While the process is essential for establishing facts, it can be deeply distressing for the family and friends of the deceased.
The primary role of the coroner is to answer four key questions:
- Who the deceased was.
- When the deceased passed away.
- Where the deceased passed away.
- How the deceased came about their death.
It’s important to note that an inquest is not intended to assign blame or determine liability. This fact-finding nature can often leave families feeling disappointed or without the closure they hoped for.
Catherine, our inquest specialist, is dedicated to guiding families through this challenging process with compassion and expertise. She understands the emotional toll an inquest can take and provides clear, supportive advice at every stage. Whether it involves preparing for a hearing, explaining the coroner’s findings, or ensuring families’ voices are heard, Catherine is committed to offering reassurance and clarity during this difficult time.
