When Can I Sue For Wrongful Death?
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing is a heartbreaking experience. If you find yourself in this situation, you may consider filing a wrongful death claim to seek justice and compensation. Understanding when to start the process and when to contact a wrongful death lawyer is essential.
You can pursue a wrongful death claim when your loved one’s death is caused by another party’s negligent or intentional actions. Common causes include:
- Car accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for filing wrongful death claims is one year from the date of death. Acting fast is crucial, as waiting too long can result in lost opportunities for justice and compensation. The steps to start the wrongful death process include:
- Determining eligibility: In Tennessee, the deceased’s spouse, child or parent is eligible to file the claim. A personal estate representative may step in if no immediate family members are available.
- Gathering evidence: This involves collecting medical records, witness statements and any proof of negligence.
- Consulting a wrongful death lawyer: Work with a dedicated wrongful death attorney to streamline the process.
Going through a wrongful death claim is emotionally and legally challenging. Therefore, speaking to a caring, experienced attorney is essential for several reasons:
- Knowledge and experience: I can help you understand your rights and the legal process.
- Comprehensive support: I can help ensure all aspects of your claim, including wrongful death damages like medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages and emotional suffering, are addressed.
- Peace of mind: During such a difficult time, having professional legal support allows you to focus on healing while they handle the complexities of the case.
