Day & Blair represents families who have lost a loved one due to the fault of others. These cases are often referred to as wrongful death cases. While the bases for fault are the same in a wrongful death case as in a personal injury case, there are substantially different issues in determining the amount that the family may be entitled to recover. Other specialized aspects of a wrongful death case include who within the family is entitled to file and control the lawsuit, and who receives any proceeds. We have significant experience in handling these matters on behalf of families.

The attorneys of Day & Blair have also researched and authored papers on the subject of wrongful death law in Tennessee. In addition, John Day has given an educational seminar on wrongful death for other attorneys practicing in Tennessee. Brandon Bass authored an article for the Tennessee Bar Journal titled "Loss of Earning Capacity in a Case for the Wrongful Death of a Very Young Child." We are proud to utilize our knowledge and experience on behalf of our clients.
