Losing a loved one is an incomprehensible experience, especially when that loss is sudden and caused by someone else’s negligence. Amid the overwhelming grief and pain, Memphis families often find themselves facing a maze of legal procedures and decisions. While no amount of compensation can ever replace a loved one, it’s vital to ensure that justice is served and that the responsible parties are held accountable.
Swift action is crucial in these moments. The legal framework in Memphis necessitates that affected families consult a lawyer promptly after the unfortunate event. At TopDog Law, the Memphis wrongful death attorneys in our network comprehend the profound emotional turmoil families undergo. They strive to streamline the legal process for you, ensuring you’re fully informed and supported throughout.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
In Tennessee, the law stipulates a specific order of individuals who are eligible to file a wrongful death claim. Initially, the right to file is given to the surviving spouse of the deceased. If there is no surviving spouse, the right passes to the deceased’s children or next of kin. In the absence of both a spouse and children, the deceased’s parents or the administrator of the deceased’s estate may bring forth the claim.Â
The right to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Tennessee can be influenced by various factors, necessitating the guidance of a skilled attorney. For example, if a surviving spouse is determined to have abandoned or willfully withdrawn from the deceased for a specified period, they might forfeit their right to file, and the opportunity will then fall to the next eligible relative. You must consult with a legal professional who understands these nuances of state law to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you truly deserve in these circumstances.Â
In the aftermath of a wrongful death, no amount of money can truly compensate for the emotional void left behind. However, financial compensation can help alleviate some of the burdens faced by the surviving family members. In Memphis, the law recognizes various forms of damages that a grieving family can claim in the wake of such a tragic event.
Economic Damages:
Non-Economic Damages:

Collaborating with a seasoned wrongful death attorney in Memphis, such as those in TopDog Law’s network, ensures that families navigate these intricate legal waters with precision and care, maximizing their chances of obtaining the full compensation they deserve.
Wrongful death claims are complex affairs, especially when you’re still dealing with the emotional turmoil of losing a loved one. A qualified Memphis wrongful death attorney provides invaluable assistance in more ways than one:Â
An attorney can assess the specifics of your case, ensuring that it meets the criteria for a wrongful death claim and helping determine its potential value. Additionally, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and collecting expert testimonies requires meticulous attention and experience, all of which an attorney can spearhead on your behalf.
Legal processes involve a myriad of documents, filings, and deadlines. An attorney ensures everything is submitted correctly and on time, mitigating any potential roadblocks or delays.
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts. An attorney represents your interests, striving to secure the maximum possible compensation and protecting you from potential lowball offers.
If negotiations don't result in a fair settlement, your attorney will be prepared to represent your interests in court, advocating for the justice and compensation that your loved one's loss merits.
Your attorney will ensure adherence to all state-specific regulations and protocols, shouldering these responsibilities on your behalf.
