We will also ask questions and obtain information at the inquest that may answer some or all of your concerns and which may otherwise not be disclosed. Coroners are expressly prohibited from dealing with matters of criminal or civil responsibility, but after the inquest we will advise you if the evidence heard may be used to form the basis of a successful civil claim for compensation.
