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.
Statute of Limitations
If a person has been injured in a car accident, truck accident, slip and fall accident, or because of a dangerous or defective product, it is important that they contact a Chattanooga personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
It is important not to wait too long after an accident because Tennessee has a one-year statute of limitations for a majority of personal injury actions.
Similarly, there is also a time limit wherein a person can file a wrongful death action. Pursuant to TENN. CODE ANN. § 28- 3-104(a)(1), a wrongful death action may be rejected by a court if it is not filed within one year after the cause of action occurs, which in a wrongful death action is upon a person’s death.
