It is imperative that the family members select a Mid-South or Memphis wrongful death attorney who has the experience and skill necessary to bring litigation in full force.

The Tennessee and Arkansas statute of limitations to file a lawsuit for wrongful death is only one year from the date of the incident. This means you must act quickly to hire a wrongful death attorney to represent you or you may lose all rights to a settlement even if you are very likely to win.

In Mississippi, the claim must be filed within three years of the date of death.

Very few deaths are truly accidental. In fact, most accidental deaths are a result of a chain of events that proper planning, equipment, or diligence would have prevented. Our accidental death lawyers have found that in many cases, the warning signs were overlooked or ignored. If someone had taken the proper precautions, then the tragic death could have been prevented. Above all, our accidental death lawyers and attorneys are ready to demand that every person responsible for the accidental death be held accountable.
