What Is a Wrongful Death Claim in Tennessee?

A wrongful death caused by someone else’s reckless, careless, negligent, or even intentional actions. A wrongful death claim may be brought against a person, a company, or governmental agency, depending on the circumstances of the fatal accident. Some examples of potential “wrongful death” circumstances might include:

  • A car accident caused by another person driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • An auto accident caused by another person speeding or driving recklessly
  • An accident caused by unsafe workplace conditions
  • A slip and fall accident that occurred because a business or homeowner failed to maintain safe premises
  • A medical mistake or misdiagnosis, including those that result in birth injuries
  • An injury caused due to defective parts or a failure to properly test equipment before putting it on the market
  • A criminal act, such as an assault

While, sometimes, wrongful deaths also involve criminal charges for the responsible party, a civil wrongful death claim is meant to help financially compensate for the losses caused by a tragic accident.
