Tennessee Products Liability
Most people assume a product manufactured for commercial or consumer use is safe, but the truth is that some products are flawed, poorly made or inadequately labeled. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dangerous or defective product in Tennessee, you may have a product liability claim.

We have helped our clients recover some of the largest legal settlements or courtroom verdicts in East Tennessee and the Southeast, including Morristown, Knox County, Rogersville, Hamblen County, Greeneville, Jefferson City, Newport, Johnson City and Kingsport. You have our unwavering commitment to help you recover damages to the fullest extent of the law.
Tennessee Product Liability Law
Product manufacturers and sellers have a responsibility to create safe products that function without undue danger to the consumer, and that are properly labeled to minimize potential dangers. There is no federal product liability law governing consumer or commercial products; therefore all product liability lawsuits are based on state laws and statutes. In Tennessee, if you are injured by a defective or dangerous product, you may bring a claim against the manufacturer, the designer or even the retailer of the product.
Responsible companies will recall dangerous products after learning of a hazardous defect – but in fact, most of our clients' injuries are caused by products that have yet to be recalled. Our attorneys know how to handle your claim whether you are a consumer injured by a dangerous 4-wheeler or a factory worker hurt in a major industrial accident. We work closely with qualified experts to examine the facts of each case and determine the most effective strategy. Previous claims we have handled include:
- Propane gas explosions
- Boiler explosions
- Gas furnace explosions
- Pool heaters
- Airbags
- ATVs
- Malfunctioning cruise controls
- Fireworks
Your Right to Compensation
If you have been injured by a defective or dangerous product, you may be entitled to receive compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of physical capacity
- Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
However, you should consult an experienced product liability attorney as soon as possible. Product liability cases are often quite complex – and there is a time limit during which you may file a claim. You will need a skilled attorney at your side from the very beginning to ensure all evidence and potential claims are protected.
