What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Tennessee?
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. Under Tennessee law, certain surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover damages for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and the emotional suffering caused by the untimely death.
Common causes of wrongful death cases we handle include:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Defective or dangerous drugs and medical devices
- Faulty products and consumer goods
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
- Workplace accidents and industrial injuries
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Premises liability and slip-and-fall fatalities
In Tennessee, if the victim could have filed a personal injury lawsuit had they survived, their family generally has the right to pursue a wrongful death claim against those responsible.
