Wrongful Death Lawyer

Serving Chattanooga, Tennessee

If you've lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence, you may be able to receive compensation for the financial and emotional losses your family has suffered.

Common Wrongful Death Cases

Secure your family's future

While no amount of money can truly compensate your family for such a devastating loss, it is important that you consider your family's wellbeing in the future. There are two parts to a wrongful death case:

  • The survival action—relates to all the things your loved one went through while attempting to survive the accident, including pain and suffering and medical expenses
  • The wrongful death suit—relates to the losses suffered by family members, including loss of income, pain and suffering

Both phases can include both compensatory damages to pay you for your losses as well as punitive damages to punish the negligence, recklessness, or deliberate misconduct of the other party.

Wrongful death cases can be complicated and involved, so it is important that you consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney early on to help you navigate the system and get your family all of the compensation you are entitled to.

We can negotiate a favorable settlement or win your case in trial if necessary. We have handled many of these cases and know the standard of evidence necessary to prove your case, including the calling of medical witnesses, and the proper framing of your loss so that the jury can see what was suffered as a result of the loss of a parent, spouse, sibling, or child.

If you've lost a family member as a result of someone's negligence, call or email our Chattanooga offices today to speak with an experienced Tennessee Wrongful Death Attorney. We'll review your case with you and help you decide how best to go forward.
