Wrongful Death Lawyers
Help After An Unexpected And Tragic Loss
The loss of a loved one in a preventable accident is devastating. Families in Middle Tennessee are suddenly faced with grief and the practical burdens of funeral costs, medical bills, and lost income. Wrongful death cases commonly arise from fatal car accidents and truck wrecks, including 18-wheeler collisions. They can also involve motorcycle crashes or drunk driving crashes. Other tragedies stem from dangerous property conditions, nursing home neglect or abuse, or medical negligence. Some cases are caused by defective products or workplace and industrial accidents. In any of these situations, a Tennessee wrongful death claim can help your family pursue answers, accountability, and the financial support you need in the months and years ahead.
When you work with Keeton Law Firm, PLLC, your Middle Tennessee wrongful death lawyer handles the heavy lifting. Principal attorney C. Brent Keeton meets you one-on-one, manages all insurance communications, preserves critical evidence, and takes care of deadlines, filings, and opening the estate when needed. As a former insurance defense attorney, Brent understands insurer tactics and coverage issues and knows how to position your wrongful death case for maximum recovery. We serve families in Manchester, Coffee County, and across Middle Tennessee with accessible, compassionate representation.
Wrongful death lawsuit settlements in Tennessee can include compensation for final medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, the loss of the loved one’s income and benefits, loss of consortium and companionship, loss of parental guidance, and the pain and suffering your loved one endured before passing through a related survival claim. In cases of reckless conduct, such as drunk driving, punitive damages may be available. Settlements often involve multiple insurance policies and coverage layers, including commercial trucking policies and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Tennessee law controls how settlement proceeds are distributed among the surviving spouse, children, or parents, and court approval may be required when minors are involved. Our team addresses medical liens and subrogation to increase your family’s net recovery. Act quickly because Tennessee deadlines can be short, often as little as one year.
