Wrongful death ATTORNEYS IN KNOXVILLE, CHATTANOOGA, AND THE TRI-CITIES

Dealing with the death of a family member is never easy. Losing a loved one to the negligence of someone else, though, can make matters even more difficult. Our lawyers know there is no amount of money that can fairly compensate you and your family for the unexpected passing of a loved one. However, damages recovered through a wrongful death claim can protect your family’s financial future and compensate you for the emotional toll of your loss.


Do I Have a Wrongful Death Claim?

The only way to know for certain if you have a wrongful death case is to consult our experienced attorneys in Tennessee. We have extensive knowledge of the laws, statutes, and precedents relevant to these types of cases.

​Generally, if your loved one’s death was caused by the negligence or deliberate wrongdoing of one or more parties, you may have a wrongful death. Some of the common ways negligence can lead to death include:

  • Accidents involving a motor vehicle or semi-truck
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • A vehicle collision involving a pedestrian or bicyclist
  • A defective or dangerously marketed drug
  • A defective or faulty product, medical device, or consumer good
  • Abuse or neglect at the hands of nursing home staff
  • Dog bites and dog attacks
  • Workplace injuries

If the victim could have filed a personal injury claim had he or she survived, the option generally exists for surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim against the party or parties responsible.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYER?

As with any legal matter, experience is crucial for finding the right wrongful death attorney to handle your wrongful death claim. In addition, you should feel comfortable speaking to the lawyer and all members of his or her staff. You are in the midst of a tragedy, and every person at the firm should treat you with empathy and respect.
​
When you discuss your case with one of our experienced and compassionate lawyers, we encourage you to ask any and all questions about wrongful death cases you have on your mind. You may want to ask some of the following questions to help you decide whether to move forward with your case:

  • How many wrongful death cases have you handled?
  • Do you frequently handle wrongful death claims like mine?
  • Do you think I have a viable wrongful death claim?
  • What do you think I may be awarded damages for?
  • How many wrongful death claims do you settle?
    AND, How many wrongful death cases do you take to trial?
  • How long do you think it will take to resolve my case?
  • What can I do to help my case?
  • What are all of my options moving forward?
