Wrongful Death

Losing a Loved One Due to Negligence in Tennessee? We’re Here to Help.

The unexpected loss of a loved one is a devastating experience. When that loss is due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another, the pain and grief can be even more profound. In such tragic circumstances, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide a way to seek justice, accountability, and financial compensation for the surviving family members.

At Chelae Nicholson Law, we understand the immense emotional toll that wrongful death takes on families. Our compassionate attorneys are dedicated to providing sensitive and skilled legal representation to help you navigate the complexities of the legal process and obtain the justice your loved one deserves.

What We Can Do for You:

  • Thorough Investigation: We will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of your loved one’s death, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with experts to determine liability and build a strong case.
  • Establishing Liability: We will work tirelessly to prove that the negligence or wrongful actions of another party directly caused your loved one’s death.
  • Pursuing Compensation: We will fight for maximum compensation for all your losses, including funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, lost income and benefits, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Compassionate Support: We understand that this is a difficult time for you and your family. We will provide you with compassionate and supportive legal representation throughout the entire process.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, wrongful death lawsuits can be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate on behalf of the surviving spouse, children, or parents. If there is no surviving spouse, children, or parents, the lawsuit can be filed by the next of kin.

Statute of Limitations

It’s important to note that Tennessee has a one-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims. This means you must file your lawsuit within one year of your loved one’s death.
