Personal Injury in Tennessee

In a Tennessee personal injury claim, if you are found to be 50 percent or more responsible for the injury, you may not collect any compensation from other individuals. However, Tennessee does implement the liability theory of law that states that the seller of a defective product can be held responsible if you were using the product as it was intended to be used and can show that the defect was responsible for your injury. Tennessee law says you can be compensated for any medical costs, mental injuries, emotional damages, and lost wages under a personal injury claim.
