What is the Minimum You Can Get From A Wrongful Death Lawsuit In Tennessee?

Posted on June 20, 2011 by John Day

 My husband was killed in a wreck with a tractor trailer.  It was not his fault.  What is the minimum amount of money I can recover for his death in a lawsuit?

There is no minimum.  The amount of damages that can be recovered depends on a multitude of factors.  You can get some idea of the relevant factors by reading our legal guide, "Understanding Wrongful Death Cases in Tennessee."

Remember that under Tennessee law a wrongful death case must be filed in court within one year of the time your husband received injuries that resulted in his later death.
