At the Knoxville law firm of Goldberg & Dohan, our lawyers have handled many wrongful death cases arising from another party's misconduct. We can answer your questions and provide help based on our experience.

Considerations in a wrongful death suit

A wrongful death claim is different from other personal injury cases. Because the victim is no longer alive, either the defendant's estate or the surviving family brings the lawsuit. A wrongful death suit is intended to obtain compensation for people who have suffered emotional or financial loss as a result of a fatal accident or other death that was caused by someone else's negligence.
