Compensation scheme for mortuary crimes committed by David Fuller

Compensation scheme for mortuary crimes committed by David Fuller

A voluntary compensation scheme has been agreed by Maidstone and
Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust and the Department of Health and Social Care which enables close family members of the deceased victims of David Fuller who were tragically abused while in the mortuary, to make a claim for damages. The scheme aims to provide fair compensation to close family members in a timely way and also includes provision for their legal costs.
Any claim under the compensation scheme must be brought by 30 June 2023 as detailed in the scheme. A claim is brought by submitting a questionnaire along with documentation /evidence as specified in the scheme to ProtocolClaims@capsticks.com
Claimants are strongly encouraged, if they wish to claim, to do so as soon
as reasonably practicable to assist with the timely administration of the
compensation scheme.
The following solicitors are representing family members of the victims and
