Understanding Wrongful Death
Wrongful death laws are often confusing to grieving loved ones. A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil suit and completely different to a criminal case. In a wrongful death case, you need not prove “guilt” or that the death was caused intentionally. You only need to prove negligence and you do not have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. The outcome of a successful wrongful death lawsuit is monetary compensation, not imprisonment.
Compensation for Wrongful Death
In Tennessee, compensation for wrongful death can include damages sustained by the your loved one due to their injuries prior to their death, as well as compensation for the contributions you loved one would have made to you and your family.
