About

Inquests


All of the lawyers at Bhatt Murphy work with the families of those who have died in custody or in other controversial circumstances.

 

The firm has particular experience working on deaths in custody by reason of restraint, police shootings and those which occur through self-harm. It works closely with non-governmental organisations outside the court room to highlight patterns of preventable deaths and to contribute to public debate and to try and achieve progressive change.

 

It is Bhatt Murphy’s experience that the primary objective of any bereaved family is to find out as much information as possible about the circumstances of the death; to make sense out of their grief at the loss of their loved one; and to ensure that lessons are learnt from their own tragedy so that others may not have to suffer as they have done.
