road accident -
i was in a road accident 2 years ago, with my mum and dad in the car. as a result of this accident - my mother died 3 days later, and my elderly father was in hospital for 6 weeks. i was the driver of my car. the other driver pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving, and causing gbh to my father .
he pleaded guilty over a year ago, and was sentenced. I am wondering how long these cases take to settle - is my father entitled to Statutory bereavement award, as my mum died ( he is in his 80's - mum was in 70'5) . my dad had broken ribs, and general bruising. I had sciatica, and have had general guilt/anxiety issues since accident.
