Nashville personal injury lawyer Stanley Davis knows that any death causes emotional, and often financial, difficulties for loved ones. Even more devastating is when a loved one is lost because of the negligence or disregard of another person or entity. When this becomes a family's reality, the effects are far-reaching. Anger and emotional disruption can become a part of the daily life of those left behind.

If you have experienced the loss of a loved one due to the neglect of others, Tennessee injury lawyer Stanley A. Davis is prepared to help as you reestablish a foundation upon which you can rebuild your life. Spouses, parents and children of those who have died because of others' negligence often suffer the greatest and are in the most need of justice.

Tennessee requires that two primary elements be established in any wrongful death case:

• A human being's death was brought about because of the willful or negligent disregard of someone else
• A loss of love, care, guidance, supervision, comfort, household assistance and general social structure established beforehand to a great degree by the one now departed

The recovery of both economic and non-economic damages is a right available to the family members of the victims of wrongful death. Damages that are determined to be economic are equated with those that would have likely been a part of the family income had the deceased not suffered death prematurely. They also include funeral costs incurred. Though no amount of money can replace a loved one, non-economic damages are those deemed appropriate when evaluating the many aspects of emotional loss experienced by loved ones.
