Experienced Wrongful Death Lawyer Serving Middle Tennessee
I fully recognize the pain and grief you must feel if you have recently lost a family member in a tragic accident or due to someone's unlawful act. As you begin making your way through the emotional shock, major financial concerns may loom as well. Probably the last thing you want to think about now is hiring a lawyer to prosecute a wrongful death lawsuit. Grieving for a lost loved one can be an all-consuming emotional rollercoaster. This is particularly true when death arises out of a sudden and unexpected trauma.
While it is always an advantage to be involved in a claim at the earliest possible stage, I understand it simply is not always possible to contact a lawyer when you are dealing with so many other emotional issues. Unfortunately, you need to protect yourself and your family. So, when you're able, please call me for a discreet, honest and compassionate conversation about your rights and options in this difficult time.
To work directly with me—not an associate or assistant, as you might at some other law firms—call 615-338-6065 or 866-504-9984 now and request a free consultation.
I Will Explain Your Legal Options and Important Considerations
Under Tennessee law, you may be able to bring a wrongful death action against liable parties as a surviving spouse, child, next of kin, or personal representative. In some cases, the first qualified person to file the action succeeds in gaining a greater level of control over what happens.
This is one reason why we encourage you to act as soon as you can to get qualified legal counsel—and why we respond and take action very quickly on valid wrongful death claims. It is also critical to know that strict statutes of limitations mandate how long we have to file.

My experience includes obtaining a $15 million judgment after a motorcycle accident took a man's life and left his wife permanently injured. In other cases, I have obtained six-figure and seven-figure recoveries in cases involving:
- Car and trucking accidents on Nashville area roadways—including drunk driving accidents.
- Falls and other catastrophic events occurring on dangerous property.
- Other injury-causing and fatal events caused by someone's negligence.
I strive to help all my clients with the broad spectrum of legal needs they may have after a wrongful death in the family. Under Tennessee law, several family members may have the right to bring a wrongful death action. Also, a sudden and traumatic death will affect the entire family. Knowing who has "standing" to bring a wrongful death lawsuit is critical. Contact me today—for a free personal consultation.
