Injury Lawsuits in Chattanooga
Personal injury lawsuits are some of the most common types of civil lawsuits filed in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Personal injury lawsuits are grounded in the theory that when a person behaves in a reckless or negligent manner and injures another person, they should be held responsible for their actions.
A person is who deemed to have been negligent is often required to pay for the expenses of the person they injured. Some of the most common classes of personal injury claims include car accidents, workplace accidents, slip and falls because of dangerous conditions on the property, and injuries stemming from defective products.
Unfortunately, accidents can also result in such serious injuries that sometimes may result in death. These tragic events often leave families with significant
financial burdens, as well as deep emotional injuries.
Under Tennessee’s wrongful death statute, TENN. CODE ANN. §§ 20-5-106 to -113, a surviving spouse, child, next of kin, or personal representative can file a wrongful death claim on the departed’s behalf if their death was caused by the “wrongful act, omission, or killing of another.”
Tennessee Code Annotated section 20-5-106. Tennessee’s wrongful death statute not only allows the surviving people to file a Chattanooga personal injury action on the departed’s behalf, but the its also creates a new cause of action for the surviving people’s losses.
