Your Rights Under Tennessee Product Liability Law
As an injured consumer, you have the right under the Tennessee product liability law to bring a claim against any party in the chain of distribution, from the designer or the manufacturer to the retailer of the product. You may be entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of physical capacity, pain, suffering, and mental anguish.
A product can be anything from a defective car part such as tires, air bags, or brakes, to ordinary household products and appliances, including prescription and over-the-counter medicine. Product manufacturers and sellers have a responsibility to consumers:
- They must make certain that the products they sell are neither defective nor inherently dangerous.
- They must make sure their products are well labeled with warnings and proper directions for use.
- Products must be designed safely so as to prevent, warn and guard against injuries.
If you have been injured by a defective or dangerous product, it is extremely important that you consult an experienced product liability attorney as soon as possible. Product liability cases are often quite complex. You will need a skilled attorney at your side from the very beginning to ensure all evidence and potential claims are protected.
