Fatal Car Accident

Memphis, Tennessee, Fatal Car Accident Attorneys 

Did you know that there are over 200 car accidents in Memphis every day? Unfortunately, some of these accidents are fatal, changing the lives of everyone related and involved forever. When this happens, you may not know where to turn or what your options are, but at the Salu & Salu Law Firm, PLLC, we are here to help you during this difficult time.

We have intentionally kept our law firm very small so that our clients can enjoy an intimate setting that is generally more comfortable than the business of larger law firms. Our focus on personal service centers on the details of each case and creating a tailored approach that highlights attaining your specific goals. We are extremely accessible and are known for our compassionate, dedicated service when helping families who have lost a loved one due to a fatal car crash.

Contact us today to learn more from our skilled Memphis fatal car accident lawyers. We are licensed to practice in Tennessee and Mississippi for all car accident, personal injury and family law matters.

We handle wrongful death claims arising from negligent or reckless fatal car accidents such as:

  • Wrecks with trucks or tractor trailers
  • Collisions with motorcycles
  • Crashes resulting from distracted drivers who were texting, e-mailing, talking on a cell phone, or performing other types of inattentive behavior
  • Accidents stemming from hazardous road conditions, including debris that should have been cleared off a roadway, defects in the road that should have been repaired
  • Construction zones not properly maintained or labeled by private or public entities

In many of these cases time is of the essence, not just to preserve vital evidence, but also to make sure you file within the statutory deadline. In Tennessee, you only have one year to file a lawsuit after a fatal car accident occurs, in Mississippi it is three years. Before you try to handle your claim yourself and the time runs out, contact us so we can start to help you right away. An insurance company may also try to drag out the process so the time expires or offer you some compensation so you will quickly settle. Before you talk to them, we encourage you to speak with us.

We know how to negotiate with the insurance company for the driver that caused the accident, to settle a claim for fair compensation that takes into account the damage to your vehicle without filing a lawsuit. However, if going to court is the best option, then that is how we will pursue your matter, which will include:

  • Past, present and future lost wages that the family would have collected if the deceased had lived
  • Property damage
  • Medical bills the deceased may have accumulated before passing away
  • A rental car for the family to use
  • The pain and suffering you have endured

No amount of money can ever replace a loved one, but justice and compensation can help your family during this difficult time. In our personal injury practice, we do not collect any attorney's fees unless we recover compensation for your fatal car accident claim. We are ready to work hard for you and to help you. Contact us today to schedule an appointment. Our hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but we also offer evening or weekend appointments, as needed to fit your schedule.
