Tennessee Wrongful Death Attorney
The death of a loved one is never easy. When that death occurred because of negligence or misconduct, people wonder whether they have any options except accepting the loss. I am attorney Rhonda R. Crabtree and I help clients take legal action after the wrongful death of a loved one caused by negligence. I explain their options and help them obtain compensation for the loss.
At my Middle Tennessee law firm, Rhonda R. Crabtree, Attorney at Law, I help grieving families obtain needed resources after the wrongful death of a loved one. I know that money alone is not what people really want. I also know that monetary compensation can relieve families of worry and stress about paying bills, bringing up children alone and sending them to college.
My goal is to help clients put their lives back together by eliminating financial worries as much as possible. I use my experience as a lawyer since 2002 and my years working as a mental health professional to seek whatever clients need after a wrongful death.
Causes of Wrongful Death
A wrongful death is any death that occurs as a result of another's negligence or misconduct. I build strong cases for compensation after wrongful deaths resulting from:
- Motor vehicle accidents, including fatal car, truck and motorcycle accidents
- Defective or dangerous manufactured products
- Construction accidents
- Nursing home neglect or abuse
- Premises liability accidents, including slip and falls
Potential Damages for Wrongful Death Survivors
Wrongful death survivors may be able to obtain compensation for:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical bills from the deceased's final illness (through a separate survival action)
- Lost income
- Lost inheritance
- Mental anguish
- Loss of companionship and support
- Pain and suffering of the deceased before death (through a separate survival action)
Tennessee law also allows payment of punitive damages in many cases to punish the party determined to have caused the fatal accident or illness.
