Chattanooga Wrongful Death Lawyer
Preventable injury is the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States, behind heart disease, cancer and COVID-19, according to the National Safety Council (NSC). These fatal injuries can stem from a variety of incidents, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Unsafe or hazardous premises
- Motorcycle accidents
- Trucking collisions
- Construction accidents
These and other high-risk situations, like falls or drownings, can lead to wrongful death claims if recklessness or negligence was involved. Chattanooga is one of the most popular cities in Tennessee – and while development and activity increases, so do the chances of fatal accidents.
